Co-cultured Lepista sordida and Pholiota nameko polysaccharide-iron(iii) chelates exhibit good antioxidant activity

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by spores of Pholiota nameko.

A 42-year-old man experienced recurrent episodes of nonproductive cough, fever, and dyspnea on exertion. He had worked as a mushroom farmer for 10 years. The diagnosis of hypersensitivity pneumonitis was confirmed immunologically by detecting a precipitin to spores of Pholiota nameko but not to other antigens. After separation from the antigen along with an addition of corticosteroid therapy, t...

Morphological and cytochemical characterization of spores and gills of Lepista sordida (Fungi: Basidiomycota)

Some ultrastructural and cytochemical aspects of Lepista sordida are described. Basidiospores with verruculose and irregular ornamentations were observed through scanning electron microscopy. Confocal microscopy indicated that most of them exhibited a single large lipid body, no acidic vesicles and nucleus localized in the cell periphery.

Lepista sordida Water Extract Enhances the Maturation of Mouse Dendritic Cells in Vitro and in Vivo

Interactions of heterologous mycelia colonized in the substrate govern fruit body production in the cultivated homobasidiomycete Pholiota nameko.

The spawn of cultivated mushrooms are generally produced, propagated, and distributed to growers as a mycelial culture without genetic purification, in which phenotypic variants frequently occur. We investigated how heterologous mycelia present in a spawn influence fruit body production in the cultivated basidiomycete Pholiota nameko. The 'di-mon' dual cultivation of protoplast clones produced ...
