Rare Medical Fungi Produced by Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm

An Iranian knowledge-based company has succeeded in producing four rare medicinal fungi that play a crucial role in the treatment of diseases.
"These rare fungi are used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases and illnesses that lead to immune deficiencies," Fars’ Abalon Mushroom Cultivation Cooperative Company’s founder and member of the board said.
“The company’s production plan of medicinal fungi has focused on the four species of Ganoderma, Hericium, Turkeytail and Shitaki,” Hassan Esmaeili also told the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology. 
Currently, the conditions for producing these medicinal species have improved and with the necessary planning, the medicinal properties of these fungi, which are used in the form of tablets and capsules in many industrial countries, could be harnessed in Iran as well.
