Researchers have discovered the chemical structure of hypoglycemic active factors in Coprinus comatus. For patients with early type 2 or persistent hyperglycemia, continuous consumption of 1-3 months has a significant hypoglycemic effect.

Coprinus comatus, also known as Coprinus comatus, is named after the mushroom looks like a chicken leg and the meat tastes like shredded chicken. The scientific name of Coprinus is Coprinus, which belongs to fungi, basidiomycetes and Agaricus, and belongs to medium and high temperature edible fungi. The mycelium is not easy to age, and can still grow normally after being stored at room temperature for 6 months, which has the remarkable characteristics that the mycelium does not touch the soil and does not grow. The specific nutritional components of dried Coprinus comatus are: total sugar content 57.65%, reducing sugar 53.54%, protein 24.45%, crude fat 2.82%, crude fiber 2.78%, ash 10.8% and moisture 0.2%. Because Coprinus comatus has certain nutritional value and delicious taste, it is favored by consumers, so the price of fresh mushrooms is 2-3 times higher than that of Pleurotus ostreatus, and it is a rare edible mushroom.
