Wild Mushrooms and Health: Diversity, Phytochemistry, Medicinal Benefits, and Cultivation: Exploring Medicinal Plants

Editat de Kamal Ch. Semwal, Steven L. Stephenson, Azamal Husen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2023
Medicinal mushrooms have been used since ancient times. Certain mushrooms can be used to treat numerous conditions, including those related to cardiovascular health, obesity, cholesterol balance, bone health, diabetes, and cancer. Wild Mushrooms and Health: Diversity, Phytochemistry, Medicinal Benefits, and Cultivation presents reports on numerous species of wild medicinal mushrooms with discussion of drug-discovery implications, analysis of bioactive substances, and prospects for cultivation.
FEATURES
  • Comprehensive review of medicinal mushrooms as sources of promising bioactive molecules and prospective compounds for drug discovery
  • Information on diversity, distribution, ethnomycology, ecology, cultivation, descriptions of specific species, and folk medicinal uses of mushrooms throughout the world
  • Emphasis on identification, documentation, bioactive substances, and the nature of mushroom bioactivity
  • Discussion of the nutraceutical properties of wild mushrooms, including high protein content comparable to that of meat, and low fat content, which make them a complete dietary food source
  • Exploration of methods used in the collection, identification, documentation, cultivation, analysis, and conservation of mushrooms for drug discovery
An installment in the Exploring Medicinal Plants series, this volume is a comprehensive resource for medical researchers, scientists, and pharmaceutical companies. In addition, this resource is appropriate for mycologists and botanists interested in pharmacognosy.

Semwal is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology of the College of Sciences at Eritrea Institute of Technology in Asmara, where he teaches interdisciplinary subjects in the botanical sciences. He received his Ph.D. from HNB Garhwal University (a Central University), BGR Campus Pauri, Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India, in 2004. He began his carrier as a Research Associate at the Directorate of Mushrooms in Solan (Himachal Pradesh) and later taught at Gondar University and Mekelle University in Ethiopia (East Africa). His research on mushrooms is well-recognized and has been cited numerous times in various research journals. He is the author or coauthor of several dozen papers in peer-reviewed journals along with book chapters, and review articles. He also served as a co-editor of a book entitled “Ecosystem and Environmental Pollution, published by Discovery Publishing House (P) Ltd, India, and co-investigator of a research project “Collection, identification, documentation of wild edible and medicinal mushrooms of Garhwal Himalaya of Uttarakhand” funded by UCOST, Dehradun, India. His papers have considered a number of disciplines of botany, particularly the diversity, taxonomy, and ecology of wild mushrooms in the Northwestern Himalayas of India. He has more than 18 years of experience in fungal taxonomy and ecology. He has described several species of wild mushrooms new to science and is currently serving as a reviewer for many highly respected international scientific journals throughout the world.
Steven L. Stephenson is currently a Research Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Arkansas, where he teaches courses in plant biology, forest ecology, and plant ecology. He received his Ph.D. from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in 1977 and taught at Fairmont State College (now University) for 27 years before moving to the University of Arkansas in 2003. He was a Senior Fulbright Scholar at Himachal Pradesh University in 1987, a Visting Scientist at the Australian Antarctic Division in 1995, and the William Evens Fellow at the University of Otago in New Zealand in 2003. His studies of myxomycetes (slime molds) and fungi have taken him to all seven continents and every major type of terrestrial ecosystem. He is a Fellow of the Mycological Society of America and the author or coauthor of 18 books and more than 480 book chapters and papers in peer-reviewed journals. His more important books include The Kingdom Fungi: The Biology of Mushrooms, Molds, and Lichens (2010), Mushrooms of the Southeastern United States (2017), and Secretive Slime Moulds:  Myxomycetes of Australia (2021).
