Wild mushrooms may be developed into anti-cancer drugs
Seemingly ordinary macrofungi, that is, wild mushrooms commonly parasitic on tree trunks, may actually be developed into antibacterial and even anti-cancer drugs. A research team composed of four lecturers and their students from the School of Chemical and Life Sciences at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore has, over the past two years, classified and studied more than 400 species of local wild mushrooms, and found that two of them contain anti-cancer compounds and 30 contain antibacterial compounds.
