“…Aqueous extract of Termitomyces striatus were determined to inhibit several strains of bacteria and fungi due to the presence of phytochemicals namely alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols and steroids, saponins, phenols, carbohydrates, and proteins inside (Sitati et al, 2021). Both endopolysaccharide and exopolysaccharide derived from Termitomyces heimii RFES 230662 (THR2) were verified as β-glucan, which played a key role in the antibacterial activity of the mushroom extract (Ahmad et al, 2021). The research of Rathore et al (2017) verified that Termitomyces eurhizus including significant homopolysaccharides supported anti-aging effects.…”

“…Termitomyces mushrooms were naturally endowed with high nutritional values, containing a full range of nonreplaceable amino acids and minerals at high concentrations (Nakalembe et al, 2015). Termitomyces heimii, isolated from Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, was cultivated in liquid fermentation, producing endopolysaccharide and exopolysaccharide (β-glucan) exhibited antibacterial property (Ahmad et al, 2021). Both exopolysaccharides (EPS) and depolymerized-exopolysaccharides (DEPS) from Termitomyces albuminosus exerted pharmacological in vitro antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and hypolipidaemic effects on mice with high-fat emulsion-induced hyperlipidemia (Zhao et al, 2017).…”

According to the research results of Ulziijargal & Mau (2011), the difference in the content of the essential components involving fruiting bodies and mycelia among fungal species of genera named Agaricus, Auricularia, Cordyceps, Flammulina, Ganoderma, Lentinus, Pleurotus, and so on showed close resemblance. Therefore, the study on the production process of termite mycelium implemented a liquid culture method guiding a premise for future studies on culturing other species. Materials and methods Termitomyces mushroom extracts100 g of dry biomass powder and fruiting body of 5 samples were extracted by methanol as a solvent with a sample ratio 5:1 at 40 °C, shaken for 24 h at 150 rpm, and filtered. The residual material underwent a double extraction with 300 mL of methanol afterward. The total extracts were evaporated at 50 °C to release the solvent, as reported by Giri et al. (2012). Evaluation of DPPH radical scavenging activity assayThe mixture consisted of 0.5 mL of DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) solution 2 mL of the extract with different concentrations. After incubation for 30 min, the absorbance of the solution was measured in a spectrophotometer at 517 nm and compared with the methanol control sample. Evaluation of antibacterial activityThe antibacterial capacity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method (

“…Members of the genus Termitomyces have shown significant results in reacting against various human pathogenic bacteria and some fungal pathogens, but no studies have yet been undertaken involving other microorganisms [ 133 ]. Among the various Termitomyces species, T. clypeatus , T. eurrhizus , T. heimii , and T. robustus showed significant antimicrobial activity against different pathogenic microorganisms [ 234 , 247 , 248 , 249 , 250 , 251 ]. Some polysaccharides (endo- and exo-polysaccharides) from T. heimii also showed significance antimicrobial activity against different micro-organisms [ 152 , 251 ].…”

Termite mushrooms have been classified to the genus Termitomyces, family Lyophyllaceae, order Agaricales. These mushrooms form a mutualistic association with termites in the subfamily Macrotermitinae. In fact, all Termitomyces species are edible and have unique food value attributed to their texture, flavour, nutrient content, and beneficial mediational properties. Additionally, Termitomyces have been recognized for their ethno-medicinal importance in various indigenous communities throughout Asia and Africa. Recent studies on Termitomyces have indicated that their bioactive compounds have the potential to fight against certain human diseases such as cancer, hyperlipidaemia, gastroduodenal diseases, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, they possess various beneficial antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Moreover, different enzymes produced from Termitomyces have the potential to be used in a range of industrial applications. Herein, we present a brief review of the current findings through an overview of recently published literature involving taxonomic updates, diversity, distribution, ethno-medicinal uses, nutritional value, medicinal importance, and industrial implementations of Termitomyces, as well as its socioeconomic importance.

Market Analysis of Characteristic Agricultural Products from the Perspective of Multi-Source Data: A Case Study of Wild Edible Mushrooms

et al. 2022

Wild edible mushrooms are a characteristic product in Yunnan, but no quantitative evaluation system yet exists for them. This study puts forward a sustainable development potential index of characteristic agricultural products (SDPI) based on various methods. It also performs a correlation analysis of multi-source points of interest (POI) and online shopping data related to wild edible mushrooms in Yunnan from a quantitative point of view, to understand the economics of wild edible mushrooms and to explore the sustainable development potential of such mushrooms in Yunnan from the perspectives of the tourism and sales markets. The results show that Dêqên Tibetan and the central region dominated by Kunming dominate both the tourism and sales markets and have a high SDPI. In contrast, the current situation and development prospects of the wild edible mushroom market in cities such as Lincang and Nujiang Lisu are poor. Yunnan Province has a large wild edible mushroom market and a promising development prospect. This paper provides comprehensive reference information for the development of Yunnan wild edible mushroom production economics.
