1. Monkeyhead mushroom (Hericium erinaceus )
Hericium
erinaceus
is a famous edible and medicinal fungi. Every
100 grams of dried fungus contain 26.3 g protein,
4.2 g fat. The mushroom has a sweet taste and
mild pharmacological property, possesses the function
of helping the digestion and beneficial to internal
organs. It showed a good effectiveness on various
diseases of digestive tract, such as the duodenum
ulcer. It could improve the immunity of human,
and was famed as the “monkeyhead mushroom is the
best in those delicacies from mountain and the
edible bird’s nest is the best in those delicacies
from sea”.
2. Effects of polysaccharide:
Monkeyhead
mushroom polysaccharide is the major active component
in the monkeyhead mushroom fungi (Hericium
erinaceus).Its active portion is the glucan
that is composd by the main chain connected
with β-(1→3) glucoside and the branch chain connected with
β-(1→6)
glucoside. It showed a significant inhibitory
effect on the mice sarcoma 180 and
cancer.
Hericipin
is the other active conponent of mushroom. It
induces the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF:
it could prolong N axon, maintain the survival
of N cells, regulate the formation of nerve cell
as well as promote the regeneration of nerve cell
in feeble animals). Its activity is much more
potent than that of adrenaline. The major components
are the Hericipin A,B,C,E,F. Its chemical composition
are diterpenoid compounds. Hericipin is used in
curing of intelligence declining, neurasthena
and the declining of autonomic nerve, especially
showing the good effectiveness to the Alzheimer
type dementia. Besides, the monkeyhead mushroon
polysaccharide showed the function of enriching
the blood, strengthening the health. The effecting
rate of healing on stomach and duodenum ulcer
was 93%.
