1. Cool blood and stop bleeding

Shier polysaccharide also has strong anticoagulant activity and is cool in nature, so it has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding.

2. Hypoglycemic

Gavage administration of 33 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg of schl polysaccharide can significantly reduce the blood sugar level of alloxan diabetic mice. It is most significant 4 to 7 hours after treatment; it can also reduce the water intake of diabetic mice.

3. Clearing away heat and detoxifying

Shit fungus has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and can clear away lung heat and urinary heat. Can be used for cystitis, enteritis, dysentery, bronchitis. In addition, it has a relieving effect on showers, vaginal discharge, snake bites, burns, and knife wounds.

4. Delay aging

Fructus auricularia can reduce plasma cholesterol and reduce the formation of lipofuscin, a product of lipid peroxidation, thus maintaining the normal metabolism of cells and having anti-aging effects. In what kind of environment do stone fungi grow?

Stone fungus is a saprophytic mesophilic fungus. Mycelium can grow between 6-36°C, but 22-32°C is the most suitable; 15-27°C can differentiate into entities, but 20-24°C is the most suitable. Mycelium can grow in planting materials and branching trees with a moisture content of 60 to 70%. When the fruiting body is formed, the moisture content of the ear material is required to be above 70% and the relative air humidity is 90-95%. Mycelium can grow normally in the dark, and the growth phase of the fruiting body requires a light intensity of 250-1000lx. For aerobic fungi, a pH of 5 to 5.6 is optimal. Function: Nourishes yin and moisturizes the lungs; cools blood and stops bleeding; clears away heat and detoxifies, mainly used for tuberculosis and cough. What is the market price of stone fungus?
