Tests of the antiviral activity of I. obliquus grown in alder and birch was carried out against human influenza viruses A and B and horse influenza viruses A (strains A/H1N1, A/H3N2, A/Equine2, B/Yamagata/16/18). The black, thin external surface of fungus grown in birch had complete inhibition (100%) against all influenza viruses. The antiviral activity is thought to be mainly due to betulin, lupeol and mycosterols.

Chaga mushroom extract inhibits oxidative DNA damage in human lymphocytes as assessed by comet assay

Chaga mushroom treatment affords cellular protection against endogenous DNA damage produced by H2O2, and shows over 40% reduction in DNA fragmentation compared with the positive control.

Exploring Mushroom Diversity for Pharmaceutical Utility

A large number of mushroom species including Ganoderma lucidum, Coriolus versicolor, Fomes fometarius, Tremella fuciformis and Lentinus edodes are traditionally used in Chinese folk medicines and are being explored extensively for their pharmaceutical utility.

Gamma-irradiation improves the color and antioxidant properties of Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) extract.

It is suggested that gamma-irradiation could be considered a means for improving the antioxidant properties and the color of CME.
