Researchers tested three medicinal mushrooms (Maitake, Lion’s Mane, and Reishi) as ingredients in washing gels to improve their safety and effectiveness. The study found that these mushroom extracts reduced skin irritation, improved skin moisturization, and boosted antioxidant protection better than gels without them. Maitake extract performed particularly well, showing the strongest antioxidant properties. These findings suggest mushroom extracts could be valuable natural alternatives in everyday skincare products.

Scientists have sequenced the genetic code of Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus commonly used to make fermented foods and animal feed. This fungus produces useful enzymes that break down plant materials, making nutrients more available. The completed genome sequence helps researchers ensure the fungus is safe for food production by checking for any potential health risks.
