Brazilian Mushroom And Cancer | Anticancer Activity Of Brazilian Mushroom | Agaricus Blazei Murill Mushroom In Cancer Treatment   Brazilian mushroom (Agaricus blazei Murill): Brazilian mushroom is an edible mushroom native to Brazil and is cultivated widely. A cold-water extract of this mushroom is consumed traditionally in Brazil. Delmanto et al studied immune modulatory, anti-carcinogenic and anti-mutagenic effects of Agaricus blazei Murrill extracts on clastogenicity induced by cyclo-phosphamide (CP) in mice. KA21 is the polysachharide fraction of this mushroom with immune-modulating activity containing a β- glucan content of about 12%. Several studies have shown that beta glucans from these mushrooms can alter cytokine and T- and B-cell activity. This prompted the view that the mushrooms would not just be applicable to fighting solid tumour cancers, but also in fighting blood cancers where the white cells themselves were in trouble like leukaemia. Research showed that Agaricus bl
