There are various chemical compounds found in mushrooms that reportedly have medicinal uses and benefits.




About 651 species representing 185 genera of mushrooms are reported to contain anti-tumour or immuno-stimulating polysaccarides that inhibit tumorigenesis.

There is evidence that the β-D-glycans induce a biological response by binding to membrane complement receptor on immune effector cells.

The lipid component of Agaricus was found to contain a compound with anti-tumour activity which was later identified as ergosterol.

Similarly the lipid fraction of Grifola exhibits antioxidant activity and inhibits enzymes that cause many chronic diseases including cancer.

The mushroom constituents not only inhibit progression of the disease by exerting direct cytotoxicity against tumour cells but also up regulate other non-immune suppressing mechanisms.

These constituents are beneficial even in some established tumours and isolates from mushroom cells have cytostatic compounds that induce apoptosis in leukamia cells.

The chemicals produced by species of Ganoderma have antibacterial properties and have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Staphylococcus.

Steroids isolated from them are active against numerous gram negative and gram positive microorganisms.

The mycelial extracts from Lentinula produce antiprotozoal activities against Paramecium.

Mushrooms also have antiviral properties and several compounds isolated from Ganoderma are active against H1V-1  and are also known to possess antiviral activity against influenza virus type 1.

Although mushroom has numerous medicinal uses, some of the attributes of them are listed here:

What is the major problems in mushroom cultivation?

By BIO RESEARCH
Problems and solutions in the cultivation of the mushroom including: a) Mycelium fails to form Improper initiation strategy.  Solutions : consult parameter of growth. Alter moisture, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, etc.  Note : If the substrate is too moist, decrease moisture b) Chlorinated or contaminated water.  Solutions :  Use activated charcoal water filters to eliminate chemical contaminants or any other ways of simple or appropriate technology. c) Bad substrate.  Solutions : Check substrate. Spread the substrate and remix the substrate, package again, make sure all raw materials are good and fresh.   Note : It is necessary to pasteurize immediately after bagging otherwise fermentation gas will slow down the rate of growth of mycelium or stop mycelium growth. d) Bad pasteurization.  Solutions : Check method of pasteurization. Release all air and make sure there is continuous steam before starting pasteurization for a period of 3h. e) The substrate in the bag is too hot when i

Oyster mushroom vs button mushroom nutrition | Nutritional comparison between oyster and button mushrooms

By BIO RESEARCH
Oyster mushrooms are beloved the world over for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor.  Oyster mushrooms are more expensive than white button mushrooms but less so than rarer mushrooms like morels, and take little prep since they can be used whole or chopped.                                Oyster: “These are low in calories and rich in fiber, protein, selenium [which may help prevent cancer], niacin [aka, vitamin B3] and riboflavin [aka, vitamin B2].Oyster mushrooms also contain an active compound called benzaldehyde, which has potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, research shows oyster mushrooms may significantly reduce blood glucose levels. They have also been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.”    White Button: White button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed. “They’re a good source of potassium, B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus [which supports bone and teeth health] and iron. They also contain selenium, a trace
