“…Therefore, these types of fungi can be catalogued as dietary supplements (Smith et al, 2002) or as functional foods (Sadler and Saltmarsh, 1998). Some fungi can contain chemical compounds with anti-bacterial effects, such as the case of A. mellea (Obuchi et al, 1990); anti-tumor substances in A. mellea, Boletus edulis, Cantharellus cibarius (Ying et al, 1987) and P. ostreatus (Mori et al, 1987); immune-enhancers in A. auricula-judae (Misaki and Kakuta, 1995); and anti-cancer in Pulveroboletus ravenelii (Duncan et al, 2003). Although in some developing countries the importance of fungi as dietary supplements or functional foods is marginal (Boa, 2004) it is quite the contrary in developed countries (Wasser et al, 2000).…”

The experiments were conducted at the Mushroom and Tissue Culture Laboratory, Horticulture Demonstration and Training Center (HDTC), DAE, Keyotkhali, Mymensingh during the period from February to May 2006. Oyster mushroom was cultivated on different substrates viz. paddy straw, sugarcane bagasse and mustard straw using cylindrical block system to find out suitable substrate. Different substrates significantly affected the number of primordia and fruiting bodies, and the amount of fresh weight or yield of Oyster mushroom in cylindrical block system. The highest number of primordia and fruiting bodies, and the amount of fresh weight was obtained with sugarcane bagasse in all flushes whereas, the lowest with mustard straw.

“…When immunosuppressive agents such as bbenzylthioguanosine or X-radiation were given with lentinan, the antitumor effect decreased. The polysaccharide has also been found to restore the enzyme activity of X-prolyldipeptidyl-aminopeptidase which can be depressed in cancer patients and in mice with implanted tumors 22 . Laboratory tests seem to indicate a role for the adrenal-pituitary axis and central peripheral nervous system including serotonin, 5HT, histamine and catecholamies in lentinan's antitumor activity 1,9,15,18 .…”

Medicinal mushrooms have an established history of use in traditional oriental therapies. Contemporary research has validated and documented much of the ancient knowledge. Over the last three decades, the interdisciplinary fields of science that study medicinal mushrooms has sprung up and has increasingly demonstrated the potent and unique properties of compounds extracted from a range of species. Currently, the field is being developed into a very fruitful area. Modern clinical practice in Japan, China, Korea and other Asian countries rely on mushroom-derived preparations.Mushrooms have been studied for nutritional and medical purposes for its various potential anti-tumoral and immunomodulatory componests like polysaccharides that have been identified. For medical purposes, mushrooms have been consumed to prevent cancer and cardiac diseases, to improve blood circulation and to reduce blood cholesterol level. Some of these mushrooms have also been used for the treatment of physical and emotional stress, osteoporosis, gastric ulcers and chronic hepatitis, for the improvement of the quality of life of patients with diabetes and especially for the stimulation of immunity.Shiitake has a history of medicinal uses. The mushroom is used as anticarcinogenic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral as well as antithrombotic in cardiovascular disorders. This article has been written to throw some light on Shiitake mushroom which has many nutritional values. Many Shiitake preparations came in market containing the active ingredients which can replace many other marketed synthetic medicines and may prove to have promising results with fewer side effects.
