Medicinal Mushrooms
Neurotrophic properties of edible mushrooms
Lion's mane mushrooms are notable for their neuroprotective properties. Can functional metabolites originating in these medicinal mushrooms, tackle the health issues of neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimer's or parkinson's?
Mushroom cultivation using agricultural wastes
Olive pomace (also named Olive Mill Solid Waste) is the solid residue obtained after olive oil extraction. It is one of the most abundant by-products of olive oil-making process. Luckily, mushrooms love growing on it. We harness this mushroom's- "super power" in our lab to develop protocols for efficient cultivation of nutritional mushrooms.
