PLEUROTUS SPECIE (OYSTER MUSHROOMS).

PLEUROTUS SPECIE (OYSTER MUSHROOMS).

Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are a type of medicinal mushroom. Often consumed as a food, it’s also available in dietary supplement form. In certain systems of traditional medicine (such as traditional African and Chinese medicine), oyster mushrooms are used to treat a variety of health conditions.
Oyster mushrooms contain a number of substances thought to influence health. These substances include beta-glucan and several other polysaccharides (a class of carbohydrates found to affect immune function).

Uses for Oyster Mushrooms.
In alternative medicine, oyster mushrooms are said to help treat the following health problems:
-Atherosclerosis,
-Diabetes,
- High cholesterol,
-Respiratory tract infections.

In addition, oyster mushrooms are purported to stimulate the immune system and protect against some forms of cancer.
Benefits of Oyster Mushrooms.
So far, few scientific studies have focused on oyster mushrooms. While there’s currently a lack of clinical trials testing the effects of oyster mushrooms, some preliminary research shows that the fungus may offer certain benefits. Here’s a look at some of the available evidence for oyster mushroom’s health effects:

1) High Cholesterol.
Several animal-based studies suggest that oyster mushrooms may help lower your cholesterol and protect against hardening of the arteries.For example, a preliminary study published in Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology in 2003 found that oyster mushrooms may reduce total cholesterol levels.
In tests on rats, the study’s authors also observed that treatment with oyster mushroom helped increase the animals’ antioxidant status and decrease their levels of triglycerides. High triglyceride levels have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

2) Cancer.
Some preliminary research indicates that oyster mushrooms may possess cancer-fighting properties.This research includes a study published in International Journal of Oncology in 2008, in which tests on human cells demonstrated that an oyster mushroom extract may suppress the growth and spread of breast cancer and colon cancer.
Additionally, a mouse-based study published in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms in 2011 determined that an oyster mushroom extract may fight tumor growth, in part by activating certain immune cells.

Alternatives to Oyster Mushrooms.
There are several types of medicinal mushrooms that may help strengthen your immune system. These mushrooms include maitake, ganoderma, and shiitake.Getting your fill of immune-boosting foods may also help enhance your immune function.
For help in keeping your cholesterol in check, make sure to get plenty of soluble fiber (found in a wide range of foods, including grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables), limit your intake of saturated fats, and load up on omega-3 fatty acids.
There’s also some evidence that drinking green tea on a regular basis and consuming plant sterols may help combat high cholesterol.

Where to Find Them.
Oyster mushrooms are sold as a whole food in our MAMALAND /CAGRATA FARM MARKETS. You can also buy oyster mushrooms from farms specializing in natural products like Mamaland Mushroom Farms food stores.

FOUR STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL MUSHROOM FARMING BUSINESS.

FOUR STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL MUSHROOM FARMING BUSINESS.

Step 1: Determine your starting size.
Begin with a clear goal of how many mushrooms you want to grow. This should include the amount of pounds of mushrooms per week, what species you want to grow, and the capacity you have for investment in cash flow.
Realize that the mushroom poundage you want to grow dictates the space you will need. These numbers will also give you an idea of how many customers you will need to sustain your business and how many mushrooms you will need to have in the production at all times.
Furthermore, the species you plan on growing dictates the process and equipment you will need, and time it takes to grow. We recommend most people to start with oyster because of the quick crop cycle. Oyster mushrooms are aggressive colonizers that can outgrow contamination, making them a great mushroom to start with. They also offer a pretty high yield that can be grown in a variety of methods, like straw.

Step 2: Focus on learning mushroom farming technology.
There are lots of steps to learn and perfect for the indoor farming process opposed to outdoor mushroom growing. It’s important to focus your efforts on one or two species and mastering that, then diversifying from there. Don’t try to do it all from the beginning. Bringing in mushroom bags to work on your volume; then work with a variety of other species. More can be brought in-house once you have a grasp on these first steps.

Step 3: Have a clear vision and mission.
Having a clear vision will ultimately help in your decision making process. Our mission is: “Fighting back Against Malnutrition and Save lives”.

Step 4: Prioritizing is imperative to success in mushroom farming.
There are a lot of processes within commercial mushrooms farming. Don’t do them all from the start. Learn to prioritize and work only with the processes you need now, and don’t be afraid to fail. It’s good to have some minor failures to learn from in mushroom farming. Remember, patience and persistence is your biggest ally along the journey. Welcome to the Industry.

FUNGI AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: THE DISCOVERY OF CYCLOSPORINE FROM TOLYPOCLADIUM INFLATUM.

FUNGI AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: THE DISCOVERY OF CYCLOSPORINE FROM TOLYPOCLADIUM INFLATUM.

Fungal species have an immense contribution owing to their potential to carry out the bio-transformations and drug synthesis in diverse conditions and in an eco-friendly manner. Advancement in the biotechnological processes has accelerated the process. Genome sequence information of various fungal species has opened newer avenues for improved and faster drug targeting and designing. The review highlights the production of pharmaceutical drugs and drug intermediates like antibiotics, anti-cancer, anti-cholesterol, anti-diabetic, immunosuppressant, anti-anxiety, anti-virals and many other drugs from fungus. Many of these have been commercialized and there are many more which are either in research or in clinical trial phase. There is a need to exploit and explore the vast biota of fungi in the hope of discovering untapped therapeutic uses of the earth’s countless species of fungus.
Cyclosporine was discovered in 1969. It's produced by a soil mold called Tolypocladium inflatum. In 1996 it was discovered that this mold is actually a stage in the life of a fungus known as Cordyceps subsessilis, which is a parasite of beetles. The soil stage of the fungus is much more common than the parasitic stage.

Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant. It decreases the activity of the immune system, reducing the probability that it will attack and destroy an organ or tissue coming from another person. The immune system normally protects us from cells and particles that don't belong in our body. By preventing the immune system from doing its job in the case of a transplant, cyclosporine is a potential life-saver. There is a drawback to the drug, however. While taking the medication a patient may be more susceptible to infections because their immune system is hampered.
Cyclosporine is also prescribed for some cases of psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis, especially when these conditions haven't responded to other treatments. These are all autoimmune disorders, conditions in which the immune system is overactive and mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Dampening the response of the immune system can relieve a patient's symptoms.

Most of the mushrooms growing on the forest floor are intimately linked to trees by symbiosis. This association, called mycorrhiza, occurs between the root ends of a tree and the vegetative system of a mushroom. Mycorrhiza benefits both organisms: there is an exchange of nutrients, one providing to other what it cannot synthesize or extract from the soil by itself. In general, the mushroom helps the tree extract minerals and water from the soil; in exchange, the tree supplies the mushroom with sugar compounds (carbohydrates).
Mushrooms cannot synthesize their own food from the sun’s energy like plants. They lack chlorophyll – the substance which permits plants to use sunlight to form sugars from the water and carbon dioxide in the air. Mushrooms therefore had to develop special methods of living: symbiosis, saprophytism and parasitism.
Saprophytism is another important living method for mushrooms, especially for species which grow on lawns, on rotting wood or on excrement. Here the mushroom’s role is one of decomposition. It feeds itself by digesting the organic matter and at the same time returns nutrients to the soil.
Finally, some mushrooms are parasites. There are several kinds of parasitism, ranging from the species which attacks a healthy host (tree, plant or insect) and lives on it without killing it, to the kind which attacks only unhealthy hosts, thereby hastening their death.

FUNGI AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN FROM PENICILLIUM.

FUNGI AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY: THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN FROM PENICILLIUM.

Penicillin one of the world’s first antibiotics was discovered in London in September of 1928. Penicillin is a group of antibiotics which include penicillin G, penicillin V, procaine penicillin, and benzathine penicillin. Dr. Alexander Fleming, the bacteriologist on duty at St. Mary’s Hospital, returned from a summer vacation in Scotland to find a messy lab bench and a good deal more.

Upon examining some colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Dr. Fleming noted that a mold called Penicillium notatum had contaminated his Petri dishes. After carefully placing the dishes under his microscope, he was amazed to find that the mold prevented the normal growth of the staphylococci.
It took Fleming a few more weeks to grow enough of the persnickety mold so that he was able to confirm his findings. His conclusions turned out to be phenomenal: there was some factor in the Penicillium mold that not only inhibited the growth of the bacteria but, more important, might be harnessed to combat infectious diseases.
As Dr. Fleming famously wrote about that red-letter date: “When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer. But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
Fourteen years later, in March 1942, Anne Miller became the first civilian patient to be successfully treated with penicillin, lying near death at New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, after miscarrying and developing an infection that led to blood poisoning. As we celebrate Alexander Fleming’s great accomplishment, we will recall that penicillin also required the midwifery of Dr. Howard Florey, Dr. Ernst Chain and Dr. Norman Heatley, as well as an army of laboratory workers.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF AFRICAN CHILD JUNE 16, 2018: “Leave No Child Behind for Africa’s Development.”

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF AFRICAN CHILD JUNE 16, 2018:

“Leave No Child Behind for Africa’s Development.”

International Day of the African Child took place on June 16, 2018. The Day of the African Child has been celebrated every year since 1991, when it was first initiated by the Organisation of African Unity. It honors those who participated in the Soweto Uprising in 1976 on that day. It also raises awareness of the continuing need for improvement of the education provided to African children. In Soweto, South Africa, on June 16, 1976, about ten thousand black school children marched in a column more than half a mile long, protesting the poor quality of their education and demanding their right to be taught in their own language. Hundreds of young students were shot, the most famous of which being Hector Peterson. More than a hundred people were killed in the protests of the following two weeks, and more than a thousand were injured.
The Day of the African Child (DAC) 2018 will be observed Under the theme “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for Children in Africa: Accelerating protection, empowerment and equal opportunity”. The Child friendly version is “Accelerating protection, empowerment and equal opportunities for children in Africa by 2030″. Mamaland Mushroom Farms,is part of the efforts to elevate child protection agenda in conflict situation in Africa as well as a guarantee the protection and preservation of life and well-being of the African children.

DAC 2018 is commemorated every year on 16 June. Under the theme “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for Children in Africa: Accelerating protection, empowerment and equal opportunity” we should reduce deaths of children under five which over 54% contributed by Protein-Energy Malnutrition (P.E.M) by using alternative protein source such as Mushrooms.
