Successfully cultured 14 precious medicinal mushrooms

For nearly 30 years, Dr. Ngo Anh - a lecturer in the Department of Biology at Hue University of Science, has devoted a lot of research on mushrooms. To date, he has successfully cultivated 14 precious medicinal mushrooms, including fungi that the world has never had.

Co linh chi is one of four precious medicinal mushrooms that Dr. Ngo Anh and his colleagues have successfully cultivated in 2006. Looking at the growing mushroom ears, few believe that it takes two years, TS Anh has just found a solution to successfully cultivate this fungus in the laboratory. Because this is a fruit-growing fungus, it used to grow wild in the forest, but it is a very precious medicinal plant with high anti-tumor effect, especially for the treatment of lung cancer, breast cancer and gastric cancer. thick.

According to Dr. Ngo Anh, " this is a perennial mushroom that grows very long. Want to grow, it must collect natural samples and bring them to the lab. One planting cycle takes 4-5 months. Want to succeed repeat 4-5 times In the laboratory, it is necessary to grow on sawdust such as jackfruit wood, trash wood to provide nutrition, the process of culturing this species is very elaborate .

As a lecturer in the Department of Biology, nearly 30 years ago, besides teaching time, Dr. Ngo Anh put all his energy into the research and cultivation of medicinal mushrooms. In collaboration with local and international professors and colleagues, he identified the biodiversity of more than 400 fungal species and studied the biochemical and toxic components of the many species.

In particular, by collecting specimens in different ecological regions, he and his colleagues successfully cultivated 14 medicinal mushrooms. In particular, in addition to the types of mushrooms, wood ear also has 10 types of mushrooms in the family of Ganoderma, such as ancient lingzhi, zodiac, lynch compounds that regulate cell toxicity, relieve pain, relax muscles, inhibit platelet adhesion, stimulate immunity and work to support treatment of many diseases such as: liver, urinary, cardiovascular, cancer, AIDS .

Although not yet widely cultivated, Dr. Ngo Anh's initial successes in the successful research and cultivation of a number of precious medicinal mushrooms have opened new perspectives on the use of compounds in mushrooms to support Support treatment of some common diseases.
