Essential notes of ‘Great fungus of the sun’
He Agaricus Blazei Murill stands out for the amount of active biomolecules, especially β-glucans (omodulatory polysaccharides) and minerals such as zinc. These and other biomolecules make the mushroom of the sun be the object of continuous scientific research.
Its consumption in Brazil
The most striking fact related to the discovery of this fungus in the mountainous regions of the Southern Atlantic Mata in the state of Sao Paulo (Brazil) It is collected in A 2008 scientific article published in Scadinavian Journal of Immunology. This relationship caused numerous researchers to focus on the study of its composition thus observing relevant substances. Following these first research there was an increase in the consumption of this fungus worldwide, with the consequent expansion of its cultivation and the monitoring of scientific works to inquire more about their behavior as nutraceutical.
Documented Uses of the Sun Mushroom
Like species such as Reishi wave Lion's mane, he Sun mushroom has been introduced into the human diet by its properties. The Sun mushroom can be consumed as the mushroom of Paris or the Niscalos, including in the diet. This species has a white meat and is slightly fibrous. In the kitchen, it stands out for its aroma and flavor almond, so in this context they also refer to it as ‘The almond fungus ’.
High concentrations of active biomolecules
However, it is not the preferred mode of consumption to reconnect high concentrations of its active biomolecules. The extract is the most concentrated way in which we can find the active biomolecules of Mushroom of the Sun, which can be in capsules as a single ingredient (Mico-Sol) or combined (Mico-Five). We also find it in liquid format in the children's formula Dr. Immune Five. Extracts can be obtained with sustainable technologies, without denaturing their compounds. The result of this process is a greater concentration of substances of interest and, therefore, a better use of them.

The Mushroom Culture of the Sun
He Agaricus Blazei, like other species of the genus agaricus, it can be cultivated on herbaceous substrates in the phase of decomposition or artificial substrates composed of plant remains, animal fertilizers and other mineral substances that subsequently submit to pasteurization or sterilization processes. Nevertheless, If production is oriented to sustainability and ecosystem care, More sophisticated systems are used with controlled environments, organic substrates, etc.

Habitat and distribution
Habitat and distribution
This fungus lives as saprophyte(It feeds on decomposition organic matter) in wooded areas colonizing the substrate rich in organic soil matter of these forests, where the average temperatures are of the order of the 25 ºC and the rains help create a humid and warm atmosphere. As indispensable conditions it requires Wet and hot environments Typical of the Brazil region from where it proceeds: the temperatures of its native region range between 35 ° C of maximum during the day and a minimum of 22 ºC at night. It also grows in the southeast area of the United States (Florida and Louisiana). Since the 80s, it is located in other regions where it is cultivated using different methods according to its productive purpose. At present, this fungus has acquired great commercial importance, thus extending through various countries in America, Asia and, to a lesser extent, Europe.
Mycological notes
Mycological notes
In 1893 the fungus was first described as Agaricus surfrescens Peck In the United States. In 1947, the American taxonome Dr. Murrill described him again and published it with his name, Agaricus Blazei Murrill. At that time it was already known ‘The almond fungus’ from Brazil (Agaricus brasiliensis), but no connection was made and it was thought that it was three different species. The in -depth studies carried out in 2002 by the researchers Wassermann and Didukh and the analysis of the genome sequence by researcher Kerrigan showed that it is the same fungus. Although the oldest name used scientifically is Agaricus surfrescensPeck, the use of Agaricus Blazei Murrill. Interestingly, the cultivation of the Brazilian fungus was initiated by a Japanese myths that resided in Brazil, which explains that this fungus was grown in many Asian countries since the 1980s. Agaricus Blazei It has a carpophore about 12 cm in diameter, with a brown-gold cuticle, convex form and fleshy consistency. The sheets are dark brown.

Maximum quality, purity and power in our production systems
One of the Hifas Research Lines Da Terra more powerful focuses on the continuous improvement of Cultivation of different species in bioreactors (Reishi, Mamena de León, Shiitake and Maitake) using certified ecological substrates, as well as in the standardization of the quality of origin ingredients to guarantee the Excellence in the final product That develops with each fungus.
Hifas Quality System
Through a standard of its own quality, We identify biomolecules and active ingredients, We properly select the strains of fungi that contain them, we use own and specific analytical systems and we apply protocols for Analysis in different production phases. Thanks to this rigorous system we offer natural products, supplements and nutraceutics, with KNAGE QUALITY SYSTEM WARRANTY, making the difference with respect to other products in terms of purity and premium quality.
