Thanks Arachnifauna for the information. I love doing research on mushrooms and I find the updated information instead of outdated information. I thought a lot about people who have brain cancer and wanted to put out information pertaining to it. It makes me feel good finding these important resources. I wanted to go to mycology classes but the college was out of state and very expensive.

Research has shown that some mushrooms exhibit in vitro anti-viral properties.

Mushrooms have been scientifically proved to having anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties that assist the body in fending off diseases like Polio, Hepatitis B, HIV, Influenza, HSV-1, and HSV-2 as well as the small pox virus.

An in-depth analysis of mushrooms a few decades ago also led to some interesting discoveries. Scientists discovered that some enzymes present in the stipe can be used in the manufacture of detergents. On the other hand, toxic elements in some mushroom species that the plant presumably uses to deter predators (including humans); can be used to produce environmentally friendly pesticides.

Mushrooms also seem to have great potential in the field of biotechnology. It is already being used to spur plant growth and or lower the level of bacterial contamination in water. The US patent and Trademark Office has registered different patents in relation to the specialized fields of mycoremediation, a cleaning process where contaminants are biodegraded to clean the environment, and microfiltration, a filtration process that gets rid of disease-causing elements like the bacteria, e coli, and the protozoa, Plasmodium falciparum. 

In 2013, the US Davis School of medicine in collaboration with the US Davis Comprehensive Cancer Centre continues to do research on the impact extracts from mushrooms have on patients with prostate cancer, and they are very optimistic about the results.

The Mushrooms and Health 2012 report that was prepared by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) confirmed the health benefits of the mushroom. CSIRO is Australia's biggest food research organization.

It is therefore evident from all its various uses, medical, and most importantly its dietary benefits it is clear that mushroom is the most significant fungus after penicillin.

Turkey tail mushrooms are multicolored fungi that grow on tree trunks and fallen trees in wooded areas. They are plentiful in various parts of the world, including the United States.

I have always loved searching and finding mushrooms in the woods. I have been looking for a mushroom identification app on the internet but haven't found any yet. One of my cactus plants died but the other one is doing good. I haven't watered it in over a year and is doing great.
