Lactarius Flavidulus
Typically these mushrooms can be found in the northern hemisphere. This mushroom can be found late summer to late autumn near the base of beech trees. It is named the mild milkcap because of its delayed sweet taste when consumed.
Benefits of Lactarius Flavidulus
The activity was potently inhibited by Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions, and slightly inhibited by Al3+ and Mn2+ ions. LFL suppressed the proliferation of hepatoma (HepG2) and leukemic (L1210) cells with an IC50 of 8.90 and 6.81 μM, respectively.
A 14.6-kDa RNase, with a pH optimum of 5.5 and a temperature optimum of 70 °C, was isolated from dried fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Lactarius flavidulus.
It suppressed proliferation of HepG2 cells and L1210 cells with an IC50 of 3.19 μM and 6.52 μM, respectively. It also inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with an IC50 of 2.55 μM.
Anti-Inflammatory - The reported medicinal effects of mushrooms include anti-inflammatory effects, with anti-inflammatory compounds of mushrooms comprising a highly diversified group in terms of their chemical structure.
The aims of this review are to report the different types of bioactive metabolites and their relevant producers, as well as the different mechanisms of action of mushroom compounds as potent anti-inflammatory agents.
Anti-Cancer - The chief medicinal uses of mushrooms discovered so far are as anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, hypocholesterolemic, anti-tumor, anti-cancer, immunomodulatory, anti-allergic, nephroprotective, and anti-microbial agents.
The mushrooms credited with success against cancer belong to the genus Phellinus, Pleurotus, Agaricus, Ganoderma, Clitocybe, Antrodia, Trametes, Cordyceps, Xerocomus, Calvatia, Schizophyllum,
