The Effect of Green Extraction Technologies on the Chemical Composition of Medicinal Chaga Mushroom Extracts

mycolabadmin

Researchers compared three environmentally friendly methods for extracting beneficial compounds from Chaga mushrooms collected from Serbia and Mongolia. The study found that heating mushroom material with water under pressure (subcritical water extraction) was the most effective at extracting important compounds like glucans and phenols. These findings help the mushroom supplement industry choose the best extraction method based on which compounds they want to produce.

Soil Fungal Diversity and Community Structure of Russula griseocarnosa from Different Sites

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied the soil fungi living around Russula griseocarnosa, a valuable wild edible mushroom that cannot be grown in farms. They found that the soil around this mushroom contains specific beneficial fungi like Penicillium and Trichoderma that help it grow, and that these fungal communities differ depending on geographical location. The study shows that using fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and beneficial fungi could help protect and increase the production of this wild mushroom.
