Abstract: Mycomedicine is a unique class of natural medicine that has been widely used in Asian countries for thousands of years. Modern mycomedicine consists of fruiting bodies, spores, or other tissues of medicinal fungi, as well as bioactive components extracted from them, including polysaccha- rides and, triterpenoids, etc. Since the discovery of the famous fungal extract, penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in the late 19th century, researchers have realised the significant antibiotic and other medic- inal values of fungal extracts. As medicinal fungi and fungal metabolites can induce apoptosis or autophagy, enhance the immune response, and reduce metastatic potential, several types of mush- rooms, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Grifola frondosa, have been extensively investigated, and anti- cancer drugs have been developed from their extracts. Although some studies have highlighted the anti-cancer properties of a single, specific mushroom, only limited reviews have summarised diverse medicinal fungi as mycomedicine. In this review, we not only list the structures and functions of pharmaceutically active components isolated from mycomedicine, but also summarise the mecha- Citation: Dai, R.; Liu, M.; Nik Nabil, W.N.; Xi, Z.; Xu, H.

A Review Gastón Guzmán* Instituto de Ecologia, Xalapa 91000, Veracruz, Mexico * Address all correspondence to Gastón Guzmán, Instituto de Ecologia, Apartado Postal 63, Xalapa 91000, Veracruz, Mexico; [email protected] ABSTRACT: In this review, more than 70 species of medicinal mushrooms from Mexico, which can help treat over 40 illnesses or health problems, are discussed. Among the latter, anxiety and rejuvena- tion are considered, as well as traditional beliefs about the evil eye or hearing the voice of a specifi c person. This article is based on an extensive bibliographic review, as well as the inclusion of fi eld work done by the author during several years of study in Mexico. Schizophyllum commune, several species of Pleurotus and Ustilago maydis, as well as some lichens, are the most important medicinal fungi considered for the treatment of specifi c illnesses or health problems. Many medicinal mushrooms are also edible and are currently sold in the marketplace. Amanita muscaria is the only toxic mushroom used in traditional medicine, as well as some hallucinogenic species of the genus Psilocybe. KEY WORDS: medicinal mushrooms, relationships, traditions, distribution, ethnomycology, Mexico I. INTRODUCTION Guzmán12,13 published two works on this subject.

  • 2 the Numbers Behind Mushroom Biodiversity
    15 2 The Numbers Behind Mushroom Biodiversity Anabela Martins Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, School of Agriculture (IPB-ESA), Portugal 2.1 ­Origin and Diversity of Fungi Fungi are difficult to preserve and fossilize and due to the poor preservation of most fungal structures, it has been difficult to interpret the fossil record of fungi. Hyphae, the vegetative bodies of fungi, bear few distinctive morphological characteristicss, and organisms as diverse as cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algal groups, and oomycetes can easily be mistaken for them (Taylor & Taylor 1993). Fossils provide minimum ages for divergences and genetic lineages can be much older than even the oldest fossil representative found. According to Berbee and Taylor (2010), molecular clocks (conversion of molecular changes into geological time) calibrated by fossils are the only available tools to estimate timing of evolutionary events in fossil‐poor groups, such as fungi. The arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiotic fungi from the division Glomeromycota, gen- erally accepted as the phylogenetic sister clade to the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, have left the most ancient fossils in the Rhynie Chert of Aberdeenshire in the north of Scotland (400 million years old). The Glomeromycota and several other fungi have been found associated with the preserved tissues of early vascular plants (Taylor et al. 2004a). Fossil spores from these shallow marine sediments from the Ordovician that closely resemble Glomeromycota spores and finely branched hyphae arbuscules within plant cells were clearly preserved in cells of stems of a 400 Ma primitive land plant, Aglaophyton, from Rhynie chert 455–460 Ma in age (Redecker et al. 2000; Remy et al. 1994) and from roots from the Triassic (250–199 Ma) (Berbee & Taylor 2010; Stubblefield et al.

Ganoderma lucidum - are the beneficial medical properties substantiated?. Mycosphere 7(6), 687– 715, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/7/6/1 Abstract Ganoderma lucidum, commonly treated as Lingzhi mushroom, is a traditional Chinese medicine which has been widely used over two millennia in Asian countries for maintaining vivacity and longevity. Numerous publications can be found reporting that G. lucidum may possess various beneficial medical properties and contributes to a variety of biological actions by primary metabolites, such as polysaccharides, proteins and triterpenes. Although G. lucidum still remains as a popular agent in commercial products, there is a lack of scientific study on the safety and effectiveness of G. lucidum in humans. There have been some reports of human trials using G. lucidum as a direct control agent for various diseases including arthritis, asthma, diabetes, gastritis, hepatitis, hypertension and neurasthenia, but scientific evidence is still inconclusive.

Abstract: Mycoparasites cause heavy losses in commercial mushroom farms worldwide. The negative impact of fungal diseases such as dry bubble (Lecanicillium fungicola), cobweb (Cladobotryum spp.), wet bubble (Mycogone perniciosa), and green mold (Trichoderma spp.) constrains yield and harvest quality while reducing the cropping surface or damaging basidiomes. Currently, in order to fight fungal diseases, preventive measurements consist of applying intensive cleaning during cropping and by the end of the crop cycle, together with the application of selective active substances with proved fungicidal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the redundant application of the same fungicides has been conducted to the occurrence of resistant strains, hence, reviewing reported evidence of resistance occurrence and introducing unconventional treatments is worthy to pave the way towards Citation: Gea, F.J.; Navarro, M.J.; Santos, M.; Diánez, F.; Carrasco, J.

Mycosphere 2(3), 239–248. Suaeda species are annual halophytes growing in soils with high salinity and high concentration of irons where non-halophytes are unable to thrive. It might be expected that the endophytic fungi of Suaeda species might help their host to resist the environmental stress. Endophytic fungal communities associated with stems and leaves of healthy S. microphylla and S. corniculata plants were determined from June to October in 2009. The plants were growing in alkaline land in Songyuan City, Jilin Province in China. Endophytic fungal composition varied between the two plants, however Alternaria spp. and Phoma spp. colonized both plant species. The fungal diversity and colonization rate were highest in September. Different fungal species inhabited different tissues and a few species were overlapping between stems and leaves. Although species of Phoma chrysanthemicola were isolated from both stem and leaves in September, the isolation frequency in stems was significantly higher than in leaves.
