“…Agaricaceae) is an edible fungal species, but only young mushrooms, before the gills start to turn black. It is well known for its bioactive properties, such as antimicrobial (Zenkova et al 2003), antioxidant (Asatiani et al 2010), hypoglycemic (De Silva et al 2012), immunomodulator, antitumor (Zhao et al 2014) etc. In China, this fungus has been cultivated in a large amount, and its production was amounted to almost 382.000 tons in 2006 (Li et al 2010).…”

Bioactive properties of fungi considerably differ between the fruiting body (FB) and the submerged culture as regards mycelia (M) and the fermentation broth (F). Antioxidant properties of hot-water extracts obtained from three different fungal origins: FB, M and F of two autochthonous fungal species (Northern Serbia), Coprinus comatus and Coprinellus truncorum were investigated. Free radical scavenging capacity (RSC) was evaluated in vitro by the DPPH assay and reducing power ability (FRAP assay). Considering possible bioactive properties of different compounds present in fungal extracts, the content of total proteins (TP), phenols (TC) and flavonoids (TF) were investigated colorimetrically. The chemical characterisation of the examined extracts was evaluated using the HPLC-MS/MS method. C. comatus showed the strongest RSC activity; more precisely, fermentation broth extract (FCc) on DPPH radicals (IC50 = 5.06 lg mL -1 ) and fruiting body extract (FBCc) for the FRAP assay (42.86 mg ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE)/g). Submerged M extract of both species showed the highest TC (MCc 81.95 mg gallic acid eq (GAE)/g d.w.; MCt 81.64 mg GAE/g d.w.), while FB extracts contained the highest content of TP. Comparing LC-MS phenolic profiles between species-interspecifically and among different fungal origins-intraspecifically (fruiting bodies and submerged cultures), high variations were noticed. In submerged M or F extracts of C. comatus, vanillic, gallic, gentisic and cinnamic acids were detected, as opposed to FB. Considering that diverse phenolic profiles of detected antioxidant compounds were obtained by submerged cultivation, this type of cultivation is promising for the production of antioxidant substances.

“…Due to its nutritional value, medicinal value, and general appreciation as a table delicacy, the importance of this mushroom has increased rapidly (Miles & Chang, 2004). The fruiting bodies of Auricularia are a rich source of polysaccharides (De Silva et al, 2012a;Miles & Chang, 2004) and possess antioxidant activities, anticoagulant activities and decrease blood sugar levels (De Silva et al, 2012b;De Silva et al, 2013;Mortimer et al, 2014). The new species, A. thailandica may have the potential for domestication as a new edible mushroom that grows in tropical climates (Thawthong et al, 2014).…”

Auricularia is an important genus among the jelly fungi due to its popular consumption and medicinal properties. A new species of Auricularia, A. thailandica is described from fresh collections made from the Philippines, Thailand and Southern China based on morphological and molecular characters. Auricularia thailandica differs from other species by having short and loosely arranged abhymenial hairs on the basidiomata and in the different size of the zones in a cross section of the basidiomata. The species is found to be widely distributed in Southeastern Asia. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The new species is introduced with full description and illustrations.

Importancia de la domesticación en la conservación de los hongos silvestres comestibles en MéxicoThe importance of domestication in the conservation of edible wild fungi in Mexico SUMMARYIn Latin America, including Mexico, the tremendous degradation of forests has drastically altered the ecological, social and cultural contexts associated with them. Edible wild fungi form part of the eating and subsistence strategy of the local inhabitants and of the biocultural richness. This resource is currently at risk owing to the growing demand for its gastronomic and nutraceutical properties, and because of the lack of knowledge for its sustainable use. All of this increases the probability of overexploiting or driving some species extinct, especially the most traditionally used and well-known ones. Because of this, it is necessary to develop an understanding of the role of edible wild fungi in agroecosystems, and to develop technologies that allow them to be produced under domestication. This review examines the theoretical and conceptual background of the challenges of managing fungi and the implications of their domestication; emphasizing the need to take into account ethnomycological knowledge and use an interdisciplinary approach that favors a balance between conservation and development. The proper management of this resource could contribute to local economies and even become a driver of social transformation for rural and indigenous communities in the forests of Mexico.Key words: agroecosystems, forest ecosystems, traditional knowledge, ethnomycology. RESUMENEn Latinoamérica, incluido México, existe una gran degradación de los bosques y selvas que ha alterado drásticamente al entorno ecológico, social y cultural asociado a ellos. Los hongos silvestres comestibles forman parte de esta riqueza biocultural y se encuentran actualmente amenazados por el desconocimiento de pautas de aprovechamiento sostenible y la creciente demanda por sus propiedades gastronómicas y nutracéuticas. Esto aumenta la probabilidad de sobreexplotación o extinción de distintas especies, especialmente de aquellas tradicionales y más conocidas. Por lo anterior, es necesario entender el papel de los hongos silvestres comestibles dentro de los agroecosistemas, así como desarrollar tecnologías que permitan su domesticación y producción. En la presente revisión se analizan antecedentes teóricos y conceptuales relacionados con los retos en el manejo del recurso fúngico y las implicancias de su domesticación, señalando la necesidad de considerar el conocimiento etnomicológico y un enfoque interdisciplinario que favorezca el equilibrio entre conservación y desarrollo. El manejo adecuado de este recurso podría contribuir a las economías locales y ser un factor de transformación social para las comunidades rurales e indígenas de los bosques en México.
