Lectotypification of Agaricus brunnescens.

Mycologia

Sylvan Research, 198 Nolte Drive, Kittanning, Pennsylvania 16201, USA.

Published: April 2008

Agaricus brunnescens Peck sometimes is synonymized with A. bisporus (J. E. Lange) Imbach, the cultivated button mushroom. However this relationship has not been accepted universally or unreservedly. For various reasons A. bisporus is the more commonly used name. This study demonstrated that A. brunnescens is based on a heterogeneous type, as suggested by elements of the type description, correspondence at NYS and a lack of consensus among studies of the type. DNA sequence analysis indicated that material corresponding to both A. bisporus and A. subrufescens Peck is present in the type as presently constituted. A lectotype corresponding to the concept of A. bisporus is chosen, and nomenclatural issues are discussed. A definitive history of A. brunnescens is attempted.

Radiation exposure can lead to reproductive damage (RD), for which there is currently no effective treatment. Natural compounds, particularly fungal polysaccharides, have shown promising therapeutic potential for RD. Due to limited availability of effective polysaccharides, research has turned to alternative sources from edible mushrooms.

It has been well documented that a number of polysaccharides with potent free-radical scavenging capability possess notable anti-fatigue activity. Interestingly, recent evidence also suggested mixed polysaccharides derived from multiple sources may yield augmented bioactivities compared to the polysaccharides from a single source. Therefore, in the current study, we investigated the anti-oxidant and anti-fatigue activities of a blend of polysaccharides isolated from three mushrooms.
