Since ancient times, edible fungus has been regarded as a special food by people. The Greeks believed that edible mushrooms could improve the fighting power of the warriors. The Egyptian pharaohs regarded edible mushrooms as delicious. The Romans classified edible mushrooms as "God's food" and only consumed them on festivals. The Chinese call it "the panacea of life". Edible fungus has been recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as "healthy food for the 21st century". Just like Professor Zhang Shuting, an internationally renowned edible fungus scientist and the father of international medicinal fungi, praised edible fungi: "Without leaves, buds and flowers, it produces results on its own. Edible and medicinal can be supplemented, and the whole body is a treasure."
In recent years, the World Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization have listed edible fungi as independent members of food, advocating that "one meat, one vegetable and one mushroom" is the best diet for humans in the 21st century. Most edible fungi are rich in polysaccharides, and polysaccharides are one of the main active ingredients for the dietary health function of edible fungi. Polysaccharides have special activities in regulating immune function, improving hypoxia tolerance, scavenging free radicals, protecting liver, and inhibiting tumors. Different edible fungus polysaccharides have different immune functions. For example, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide can significantly enhance the function of T lymphocytes in experimental mice, while lentinan and hericium erinaceus polysaccharide can significantly enhance the function of B lymphocytes in experimental mice. These three polysaccharides can significantly enhance the phagocytic function of macrophages in experimental mice.
The functions of edible fungi to resist disease, prevent aging, and improve health have also attracted the attention of nutritious food and medical care circles in various countries.
As a professional edible and medicinal fungus biomedical technology company, we are determined to use natural edible and medicinal fungi to serve the health of all mankind based on the value of "taking the essence of fungi for the quality of life".
