T1 Profiles of Little-Known Medicinal Polypores: Funalia trogii (Agaricomycetes) JF International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms JO IJM YR 2018 FD 2018-07-25 VO 20 IS 7 SP 657 OP 664 K1 distribution K1 Funalia K1 Funalia trogii K1 gibberellic acid K1 indole-3-acetic acid K1 laccases of spare action K1 medicinal mushrooms K1 medicinal polypores K1 morphology K1 targeted therapy AB The purpose of this study was to comprehensively characterize little-known polypores that have recently been found to possess anticancer activity and thus can be used in targeted cancer therapy. Funalia trogii is a polypore with bipolar distribution and has been found by harvesters working in taiga forests, broadleaf forests, and forest-steppes of the Holarctic, and in semiarid temperate forests of the Southern Hemisphere. Substances such as gibberellic acid, abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, and natural cytokinin were determined in culture media of F. trogii. Also, laccases and peroxidases of spare action have been reported in F. trogii culture media. All of the aforementioned substances can be used in targeted cancer therapy, but further investigation of F. trogii is recommended; more details of its health benefits could expand its use in mycotherapy.
