Verifica dei luoghi storici di raccolta di Pleurotus nebrodensis (Basidiomycota)ai fini di una valutazione dello stato del popolamento
2009
Nel 1902, Ferdinando Alfonso Spagna, direttore dell’Istituto Agrario Castelnuovo e redattore dei Nuovi Annali di Agricoltura Siciliana, è autore di una pubblicazione dal titolo “Dei funghi velenosi” (1) nella quale include un “elenco minuzioso dei funghi mangerecci più comuni” al fine di fornire indicazioni utili ai cercatori di funghi e per evitare i frequenti avvelenamenti che, a quel tempo, avevano causato numerose vittime in varie regioni d’Italia. Alfonso Spagna, tra le specie eduli e di buone proprietà organolettiche, segnala Pleurotus nebrodensis [sub: Agaricus nebrodensis Inz.], “fungo di eccellenti qualità”, noto localmente con il nome di “fungo di basilisco”. A differenza di Giuse…
The Mineral Contents of Some Boletaceae Species from Sicily (Southern Italy)
2014
Abstract Data on the accumulation of metals in wild edible and inedible macrofungi of the Boletaceae family are discussed here and compared with data reported in literature from northern Italy and other European countries, as well as from China, Brazil, and Africa. The results show a significant difference in the values detected in Sicilian fungi compared to those reported in the literature.

2017
Inocybe castaneicolor sp. nov., collected in Sicily (Italy), is introduced with full description, line drawings, and color photographs. Its novelty is supported by both its morphology and molecular phylogenetic analysis. It is characterized by its castaneous brown pileus with an evident umbo and sloped margin, subfusiform cystidia and smooth subamygdaliformis to subnavicular spores. Comparison of I. castaneicolor with similar species is also provided.

Production and extraction of astaxanthin from Phaffia rhodozyma and its biological effect on alcohol-induced renal hypoxia in Carassius auratus
2015
The effect of astaxanthin (3,3â²-dihydroxy-s-carotene-4,4â²-dione) on alcohol-induced morphological changes in Carassius auratus, as an experimental model, was determined. The yeast Phaffia rhodozyma was used as a source of astaxanthin. The animals were divided into three groups for 30 days: one group was treated with ethanol at a dose of 1.5% mixed in water, the second one with EtOH 1.5% and food enriched with astaxanthin from P. rhodozyma, and the third was a control group. After a sufficient experimental period, the samples were processed using light microscopy and evaluated by histomorphological and histochemical staining, and the data were supported by immunohistochemical analysis, u…

Leratiomyces ceres (Strophariaceae, Basidiomycota), new to Poland
2019
<em>Leratiomyces ceres</em>, an extra-European species hitherto unknown in Poland, was identified in a public park in Rybnik City (SW Poland). The first Polish collections of the fungus were studied using macroscopic and microscopic features. A brief description and illustration of the species, based on Polish specimens, are presented. The ecology and characteristics distinguishing <em>L. ceres</em> from related <em>Leratiomyces</em> species are also discussed.

The Potential Role of Medicinal Mushrooms in the Prevention and Treatment of Gynecological Cancers: A Review
2019
A review of scientific information about the potential role of medicinal mushrooms in the prevention and treatment of gynecological cancers, human immunodeficiency virus, and human papillomavirus infections is reported here. The results of in vivo and in vitro experiments on 16 different species of Basidiomycetes and three Ascomycetes, which possess chemopreventive potential and are effective in clinical application in combination with chemotherapy, are also discussed. Medicinal mushroom extracts confirm an evident efficacy on the reduction of tumor cell proliferation and side effects in patients with gynecological tumors who are undergoing chemotherapy treatments. This review, the first on…
