A water-soluble α β-glucan with a molecular weight of 1.62 × 10(5) Da, AAPS -1, was obtained from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Auricularia polytricha by a combined separation of high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC)-Sephacryl S-300 HR column chromatography. The structure of AAPS-1 was elucidated that the polysaccharide possesses a backbone composed of (1 → 6)-linked-α-D-glucopyranosyl and (1 → 6)-linked-β-D-glucopyranosyl residues, partially substituted at O-3 of β-D-glucopyranosyl residue by side chain (1 → 4)-α-D-Glcp and terminated with non-reducing end α-D-Glcp-(1 → on the basis of the analyses of partial hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, acetylation, methylation and NMR spectroscopy ((1)H, (13)C).

Breast cancer has been reported to correlate with the infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) or M2-like macrophages in tumor microenvironment (TME) that could promote breast cancer progression. In contrast, M1-like macrophages displayed anti-tumor activity toward cancer. This study was focused on Auricularia polytricha (AP), a cloud ear mushroom, which has been reported for anti-tumor activity and immunomodulation.

Waste mushroom residues are often returned to fields as organic amendments. Here, we estimated the effects of the continuous applications of different spent mushroom substrates for 2 years on crop yields, soil nutrients, and heavy metals in paddy fields. The study comprised seven treatments: no fertilization (CK) and mineral NPK fertilizer (CF), as well as NPK fertilizer combined with Enoki mushroom residue (EMR50), Oyster mushroom residue (OMR50), mushroom residue (APR50), Shiitake mushroom residue (SMR50), and residue (ABR50).

One of the most common harmful mites in edible fungi is Dufour (Acaridida: Histiostomatidae), a fungivorous astigmatid mite that feeds on hyphae and fruiting bodies, thereby transmitting pathogens. This study examined the effects of seven constant temperatures and 10 types of mushrooms on the growth and development of , as well as its host preference. Developmental time for the total immature stages was significantly affected by the type of mushroom species, ranging from 4.

The antioxidant activity of is associated tightly with its polysaccharide concentration, molar mass and architecture. This study aims to explore the differences in structural and physicochemical traits and oxidation resistances between the polysaccharides from fruit body (ABPs) and mycelial (IAPs) of . The results showed that ABPs and IAPs were constituted by glucose, glucuronic acid, galactose and mannose.
