Flavonoids are secondary metabolites of plants. In general，most flavonoids are combined with glucosides and have extremely complex molecular structures. In nature, these flavonoids have a variety of biological activities, such as anti-oxidation，anti-virus, anti-tumor, scavenging free radicals, etc.; however，due to poor solubility and stability of flavonoids，their bioavailability is limited. The drug design method is used to modify the structure of flavonoids to give them special properties. At present, flavonoids have shown broad application prospects in treating tumors, inhibiting proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and multi-drug resistance of tumors and have become a research hotspot.

This article presents new data on the integrated use of colloidal solutions of nanoparticles and low-intensity laser radiation on the biosynthetic activity of the medicinal mushroom . Traditional mycological methods, colloidal solutions of biogenic metals, and unique photobiological methods have also been used. It was found that colloidal solutions of nanoparticles of all metals used increased the growth characteristics of (55-60%), while irradiation of the fungal inoculum with laser light in a medium with nanoparticles reduced the growth activity of mycelia by 12.
