Mushrooms consist of mycelium and fruiting body. Mycelium is a vegetative organ, and fruiting body is a reproductive organ. Mushrooms have as many as 36,000 genders, which germinate from mature spores into hyphae. The hyphae are multicellular, with septa, elongated growth at the top, white, slender, fluffy and gradually filamentous. Mycelia combine with each other to form a dense mass called mycelium.

The specific interpretation is as follows:

First, pharmacological effects.

1, antibacterial effect

Mushroom culture medium (cultured at 28 ~ 30℃ for 22 days) has inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli. This culture medium is non-toxic to guinea pigs, and there is no side effect when people take 250 ml orally.

Squeezing of mushrooms. It can still inhibit mycobacterium and mycobacterium tuberculosis.

2. Other functions

Its extract (extracted with ethanol for 24 hours, mixed with acetone to precipitate filtrate, then extracted with ethanol and dried in vacuum) has hypoglycemic effect. A non-specific phytohemagglutinin was isolated from mushrooms.

According to a study in Bangladesh, eating mushrooms can effectively regulate the contents of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, and once you stop eating mushrooms, total cholesterol and triglycerides will gradually rise.

Second, the role of diet therapy

1, improve immunity

Improve immunity: after the mushroom is irradiated by the sun, the special substances contained in it will be converted into vitamin D, which will help to enhance the resistance after being absorbed by the human body. Mushrooms can also stimulate the human body to produce more interferon and eliminate viruses in the body, so mushrooms also have a certain effect on preventing colds.

2. Analgesia and sedation

Act-2, a substance extracted from mushrooms by a research institute in Brazil, has analgesic and sedative effects, and its analgesic effect can replace morphine.

3, cough and phlegm

Mushroom extract was used in animal experiments and found to have obvious antitussive and expectorant effects.

Step 4 fight cancer

Japanese researchers isolated a super anticancer substance with molecular weight of 288 from the effective components of mushrooms, which can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and its effect is stronger than that in green tea 1000 times. Mushrooms also contain a toxic protein, which can effectively prevent protein synthesis of cancer cells.

5, cathartic detoxification

Mushrooms contain crude fiber, semi-crude fiber and lignin, which are difficult for human body to digest, and can keep intestinal moisture, absorb residual cholesterol and sugar, and excrete them, thus preventing constipation, intestinal cancer and arteriosclerosis. Diabetes and so on are very beneficial.

6, weight loss: mushrooms are rich in inorganic substances, vitamins, protein and other nutrients, but the calories are very low, often eat will not get fat. Moreover, mushrooms contain high plant cellulose, which can prevent constipation and reduce the cholesterol content in the blood. Vitamin C in mushrooms is much higher than that in common fruits, which can promote human metabolism.
