Domestication Cultivation and Nutritional Analysis of Hericium coralloides

Researchers successfully grew a rare medicinal mushroom called Hericium coralloides from a wild sample found on the Tibetan Plateau. The mushroom is nutrient-rich, containing good amounts of protein and fiber while being low in fat, making it a healthy food choice. The mushroom’s compounds showed strong antioxidant properties and the ability to slow the growth of certain cancer cells, particularly breast cancer cells, suggesting potential health benefits.

Formulation of functional noodles by adding Lentinus edodes mushroom powder: Physiochemical attributes, cellular mineral uptake and improved glycemic index

Researchers developed a healthier version of noodles by adding shiitake mushroom powder at 4% concentration. These mushroom noodles had better nutritional content with more protein and minerals like iron and calcium that the body could actually absorb. Most importantly, the mushroom noodles caused a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar compared to regular noodles, making them potentially beneficial for people managing diabetes.

Impact of Artemisia argyi and Stevia rebaudiana substrate composition on the nutritional quality, yield and mycelial growth of L. edodes addressing future food challenges

This study shows that shiitake mushrooms can be grown on agricultural waste materials like wormwood and stevia instead of traditional sawdust. Using 45% wormwood or 30% stevia in the growing substrate improved both the mushroom yield and their nutritional content, including important compounds with health benefits. These findings suggest environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives for mushroom farming that reduce reliance on wood resources while maintaining or improving food quality.
