Agaricus blazei Murill - what is it?
The Agaricus blazei mushroom is an edible mushroom from the Agaricaceae family, which naturally grows on larch litter in the forests of Brazil, the USA and other regions. It has a pleasant sweetish taste and a slightly almondy smell, due to which it is used in cooking. Also Agaricus subrufescens or Agaricus blazei is a mushroom known for its medicinal potential, which is reflected in its names among different peoples: the invaluable mushroom of the Aztecs, the mushroom of life, the mushroom of God. In Japan it is called himematsutake ("princess matsutake" or "princess of pine mushrooms"), in China - jisongrong.
Useful properties of himematsutake mushroom
Aztec mushrooms are used in Brazilian traditional medicine, as well as as a raw material for research in official science. Scientists are interested in the possibilities of medical use and the mechanism of action of the following components of Agaricus subrufescens:
- beta-glucans - a group of polysaccharides that have immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetic effects, and also have a beneficial effect on the condition of the gastrointestinal tract;
- Blazeispirols - a group of ergostane-type compounds that are inhibitors of tumor cell growth in liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) and provoke DNA defragmentation and a number of other processes in Hep 3B cells, leading to their apoptosis;
- ergosterol - a provitamin of ergocalciferol (vitamin D2), which regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine and regulates their metabolism in the body;
- dihexose, saccharin, hexitol, p-coumaric acid, minerals, vitamins and other components with a general strengthening effect.
