Two novel ravenelones from the edible mushroom Pulveroboletus ravenelii.

Secondary metabolites from higher fungi in China and their biological activity.

As a part of our search for naturally occurring bioactive metabolites from higher fungi, we investigated the chemical constituents of basidiomycetes and ascomycetes fungi (Albatrellus confluens, Albatrellus dispansus, Boletus edulis, Boletopsis grisea, Bondarzewia berkeleyi, Cortinarius tenuipes, Cortinarius vibratilis, Daldinia concentrica, Engleromyces goetzii, Hydnum repandum, Hebeloma versi...

Evaluation of 226Ra, 232Th, 137Cs and 40K “Agaricus Bisporus” Activity in Cultivated Edible Mushroom formed in Tehran Province- Iran

Introduction Natural and man made radioactive sources exist in our environment they can enter into our food chains. One of these is the soil-mushroom-human chain. High level doses of natural radiation can cause hazards to humans. Materials and Methods Samples of Agaricus bisporus cultivated edible mushroom in Tehran province- Iran were collected from 7 farms. Specific activity of 226Ra, 228Ra, ...

Evaluation of Different Preparation Methods of Edible Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus, Strains H737) on Reduction of Health Hazards Caused by Deltamethrin Residue

Background and Objectives: One of the biggest concerns in the field of food safety is the presence of pesticide residue in food products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different methods of storage conditions and washing and cooking methods on the deltamethrin residue of edible mushroom.  Materials & Methods: Edible mushroom samples were contaminated with deltameth...

Search for Proteins in the Liquid Extract of Edible Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, and Studying their Antibacterial Effects

The edible mushrooms (basidomycetes) have high nutritional value, promote the immune system, and as a source of natural antimicrobial substances have been used to cure bacterial infections since ancient times.Various kinds of proteins with several biological activities are produced by mushrooms. In this research, in order to evaluate antibacterial activity of edible mushrooms, we isolated prote...
