“…Steroids isolated from them are active against numerous gram negative and gram positive microorganisms (Kuznetsov et al,2005). The mycelial extracts from Lentinula produce antiprotozoal activities against Paramecium (Badalyan, 2004). Mushrooms also have antiviral properties and several compounds isolated from Ganoderma are active against H1V-1 (El- Mekkawy et al, 1998;Ichimura et al, 1998) and are also known to possess antiviral activity against influenza virus type 1.…”

Mushroom is the most popular delicious, nutritious and medicinal vegetable in the world. Now it is considered as the most promising concept for crop diversification. It has been regarded as an effective means for poverty alleviation in less developed countries due to its potential for a quick, high return of profit on a small investment. Bangladesh is one of the most suitable countries in the world for Mushroom cultivation due to its favorable climate, cheap raw materials and labor cost and high market price. It is such an income generating concept that can alleviate poverty and eradicate malnutrition. It can also create employment opportunities for landless beggar, educated and uneducated youth, person with disabilities and adolescent men and women respectively. The primary objective of the study is to alleviate poverty, unemployment and malnutrition through cultivating and selling mushroom. The study is analytical and theoretical in nature and based on the secondary data. However, personal interview has been conducted to the mushroom farmers to depict the cost and profitability of Mushroom cultivation. The study finds that Mushroom cultivation can open a new opportunity for landless and unemployed people as it does not require any cultivable land and can be grown in a room by racking vertically. One can earn nearly TK 4-5 thousands a month by investing only TK 10-15 thousands. So, it is possible to make a handsome profit by investing a small amount of capital and labor in Mushroom cultivation.

Abstract:Mushrooms have been known for their nutritional and culinary values and used as medicines and tonics by humans for ages. In modern terms, they can be considered as functional foods which can provide health benefits beyond the traditional nutrients. There are monographs that cover the medicinal and healing properties of some individual traditional mushrooms. There has been a recent upsurge of interest in mushrooms not only as a health food which is rich in protein but also as a source of biologically active compounds of medicinal value which include complementary medicine/dietary supplements for anticancer, antiviral, hepatoprotective, immunopotentiating and hypocholesterolemic agents. However the mechanisms of the various health benefits of mushrooms to humans still require intensive investigation, especially given the emergence of new evidence of their health benefits. In the present paper the medicinal potential of mushrooms is being discussed.

“…They reported that oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) has significant anti-inflammatory effect which is mediated through the inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 signaling. Already it has been reported that ethanolic mycelial extracts from Lentinus edodes possess antiprotozoal activity [21]. The lowest OPG was recorded in 100 mg oyster mushroom/kg body weight supplemented group indicating the highest prophylactic efficacy among all of the groups.…”

“…Mushrooms also contain a spectrum of nutrients at varied levels, such as B vitamins, vitamin D, and minerals (potassium, copper, magnesium, selenium, and zinc) [20]. Already it has been reported that ethanolic mycelial extracts from Lentinus edodes possess antiprotozoal activity [21] and aqueous extract of a wild mushroom Ganoderma lucidum has anticoccidial effect against Eimeria tenella giving positive impact on weight, fecal oocyst count and packed cell volume [4]. However, the mechanisms of the various health benefits of mushrooms to poultry still require intensive investigation, especially given the emergence of new evidence of their health benefits like anticoccidial role.…”

Role of Oyster Mushroom (<i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i>) Against Cecal Coccidiosis in Cobb 500 Broiler Chicken

et al. 2012

A total of 25 day old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were purchased and randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D and E). Group A served as noninfected, non-supplemented control. Group B were infected and non-supplemented while chicks of group C, D and E were supplemented oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) @ 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg body weight respectively with feed from 2-28 day of age. The chicks of group B, C, D and E were challenged orally with 1 x 10 4 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella on 10 th day. The anticoccidial efficacy of oyster mushroom was evaluated based on oocysts counts per gram (OPG) of feces, weight gain, morbidity and mortality, necropsy findings and histopathology. Concerning the mean OPG count, body weight gain (p<0.01), morbidity and mortality the highest performance (p<0.01) was detected in group D and E on day 28 among the supplemented groups whereas group B showed the lowest performance. Group D and E showed the best results in regards of body weight, OPG counts, morbidity, mortality and post mortem findings as compared to healthy control (group A). So it could be concluded that supplementation of 100-150 mg oyster mushroom/kg body weight reduces the development of cecal coccidiosis in chicken.
