As a long-time fan of functional mushrooms, I was particularly excited to try the Agaricus Subrufescens, often referred to as the Almond Mushroom. From the very first experience, I knew I was in for a treat! The flavor profile is rich and nutty, resembling almonds, and I found it to be a fantastic addition to my meals. I typically consume it in dried form, and it lends itself beautifully as a flavor enhancer in soups and stir-fries. In terms of effects, I felt an incredible sense of calm and contentment wash over me shortly after consumption. My focus improved dramatically, and I was able to power through my work with a refreshing energy. What’s more, I noticed that my clarity of thought increased as well, making problem-solving feel less daunting. However, it is essential to note that some initial nausea hit me if consumed on an empty stomach, so I recommend pairing it with food. Overall, if you’re looking for a mushroom that enhances both your culinary experience and your overall mental state, the Agaricus Subrufescens is a fantastic choice!

Vitamin D2 content and antioxidant properties of fruit body and mycelia of edible mushrooms by UV-B irradiation

Our objective was to study the effect of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light irradiation on the vitamin D2 content of several edible fruit bodies and mycelia and their antioxidant properties. Eleven species of fresh mushroom fruiting bodies, including species from each of the six genera, Agaricus, Agrocybe, Auricularia, Hypsizigus, Lentinula and Pholiota, and five species from Pleurotus genus, were irradiated with UV-B light for 2 h.
