comparing hericiums...
    #26913299 - 09/02/20 07:37 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Anyone got any up-to-date info in Hericium species with regards to nutrition and medicinals?

I was reading an article a while ago on the rDNA sequencing of them showing that americanum, erinaceus and coralloides were closely related species with a common genetic 'parent' for example, but obviously they are different so I would expect variation in polysaccharides along with these CNS compounds like Erinacine.

What I was wondering is with regards to medicinal properties how do they compare?

Anyone seen any detail analysis on them?  I'm struggling to get cultures of most and wondering is say Coralloides is 'as good' medicinally as Erinaceus for example...

Obviously being in Australia limits things given they seem mostly a northern hemisphere species.  That said I we have some random things like 'antarctic beech' so who knows what edible goodies might be undiscovered on this wacky island!

Anyone doing or following the research on these?

I don't have any specific data on hand (all my books are packed for moving) but going by my memory of comparisons of other species in the same genus, the differences in the medicinal compounds are generally pretty negligible if you're just looking for the textbook benefits of the mushroom.  I would be comfortable using H. coralloides as a substitute for lion's mane, for personal use.

There are differences though, and I'd be interested if anyone has more info as well.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

OK thanks for the reply.

I'll give them a go a suppose :smile:  I guess its hard to bio-essay something so subtle so I'll have to wait for research to unfold.

More and more I feel like the only way forward with a lot of these questions is starting a biotech company!
