Although we generally find them Mushroom Supplements in the vegetable section of stores and supermarkets, we must flash back that fungi belong to a natural area piecemeal from the vegetable, of the 5 different bones
in which living organisms can be classified grounded on their evolutionary relationship, the area Fungi. And their unique natural characteristics.

That allow them to separate themselves taxonomically from the rest of the living beings on the earth make them not only an intriguing food, but also authentic biofactories whose eventuality, both in diversity and in operations, is beginning to be developed, as explained by the Spanish Marisa Pena.
Epicure mushrooms

Spain is the fourth largest patron of mushrooms in the world and the first European patron of Pleurotus mushrooms. These two mushrooms are the most cultivated in the country, followed in significance by shiitake, which is included in what we call fantastic or epicure mushrooms, shares the director of Mushrooms results.

With further than three decades of experience in the mushroom sector. the mushrooms Some 15- 20 times ago I helped introduce shiitake civilization in Spain. Since also, its consumption has increased a lot and, although the development of the request for new species of mushrooms costs a lot, the current trend in the mushroom sector is diversification.

Towards new species similar as the poplar mushroom, the oyster mushroom, the captain\'s mane or the flammulina. There\'s a whole range of fungi yet to be developed because, in fact, fungi are, after insects, the second largest group of organisms on the earth. In fact, only about 20- 25 species have been developed for civilization; and there may be about one and a half million species of which a large number haven\'t indeed been described yet. ”

Nutritional foods with medicinal parcels.

Champignons and cultivated mushrooms, as well as the anticipated seasonal wild mushrooms, are formerly a regular part of our diet; but there\'s still ample room for growth in the request." In Spain, the consumption of mushrooms has been rising and moment it\'ll be around 2 kilos per person per time, although it\'s still veritably far from per capita consumption in relation to Asian countries with a lesser tradition in consumption. of mushrooms, which is around 10 kilos ”, says Marisa( in the print).

“ On a nutritive position, mushrooms are foods that are veritably low in fat and sodium, but veritably rich in protein content and in essential amino acids and vitamins, similar as vitamin D, which is typically attained in low boluses through food and to a lesser extent.

measure of food of beast origin, so mushrooms are a veritably important source of quality protein in the current environment of a growing trend towards a submissive or vegan diet ”.

“ It\'s also necessary to point out that mushroom civilization is veritably sustainable. For the elaboration of the compost where they\'re grown, by- products from husbandry or beast are used. That is, we use products that would else be waste, to economically gain high- quality proteins in the form of mushrooms ”, he highlights.

likewise, their composites make them have veritably important medicinal parcels that are being delved in the main universities and exploration centers around the world. It has been shown that, among other benefits, mushrooms help control cholesterol, hypertension, are antitumor and immunomodulatory.

In fact, there will soon be a congress in Belgrade that will concentrate on the medicinal parcels of mushrooms and the rearmost advances."

In my opinion, promotional juggernauts that encourage its consumption are veritably important and that in the case of Spain, support is given to such an representational sector in our regions. In addition, Spanish products meet.

all the phytosanitary and safety conditions demanded in Europe against significances, which on further than one occasion have been the subject of cautions for containing preservatives similar as formaldehyde, a largely carcinogenic product with which it\'s achieved that after the long transport the product is saved in correct visual conditions, but not from the aseptic point of view ”.

Biotechnological implicit.

The use of mushrooms as food for its nutritive parcels is the most apparent“ they also have significant biotechnological eventuality ”, underlines the expert. “ Fungi can be used to gain excerpts, enzymes, colorings, biofertilizers, biocontrol agents for natural control, motes with natural exertion. with operations in diligence as different as cosmetics, medicinals, fabrics, paper or chemicals. ”.

Mycelium- grounded biomaterials.

Recently we\'re working on the use of fungal mycelium to gain biomaterials with veritably intriguing parcels that make them an volition to plastics. These fungal biomaterials are fire- retardant, light, resistant, compostable and biodegradable, and can be used for multiple operations in the packaging assiduity, as separating or construction material, to gain skin backups, and indeed to manufacture electronic circuits ”.
