Japanese Name - KikurageChinese Name - Mu Er / (Wood Ear)English Name - Jews Ear / Judas' Ear
Specification 10%-30% Polysaccharide
Description
A. auricula grows throughout Europe, Asia and the United States and is highly valued in Asian cooking for its crunchy, rubbery texture. A type of jelly fungus, it produces fruit bodies that are translucent, brown in colour and 'ear' shaped, hence its Chinese name 'Wood Ear'. Both A. auricula and A. polytricha are considered as species of Mu Er in Chinese medicine and today are used interchangeably
Log Cultivation
At present, artificial log cultivation of Auricularia auricula mushroom is very popular in China. Cotton seed shells, sawdusts, sugarcane, rice straw and corn residues are major cultivation materials. One of the major materials (90%) is mixed with 8% wheat and wheat bran, and 1% each of gypsum and sugar, and water is added. A water content of 60%-65% is perferable for the mixed cultivation materials used for the artificial log. Rice straw must be softened in lime water at PH 10 for 3 days if it is used as the major material.
Benefit
Anti-inflammatory - A. auricula polysaccharides have anti-inflammatory activity, which correlates with A. auricula's traditional use for soothing irritated or inflamed mucous membranes
Anti-oxidant Wood ear mushrooms have significant antioxidant properties. The polysaccharides and phenol chemicals in wood ear mushrooms have antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective actions, which may help to prevent many types of chronic illness such as cancer and stroke. The majority of scientific research into wood ear mushrooms have looked into the effects of Auricularia auricula -- a related fungus that is used interchangeably with Auricularia polytricha in Chinese medicine.Anti-thromobotic - Polysaccharide extracts of A. auricula inhibit platelet aggregation and increase clotting times in-vitro and in-vivo. Its anticoagulant activity was due to catalysis of thrombin inhibition by antithrombin but not by heparin cofactor
Anti-cholesterol - A. auricula polysaccharides have been shown to lower blood total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides and LDL levels and enhance the level of blood HDL, as well as HDL /TC and HDL/LDL ratios, at 5% of feed in rats suffering from hyperlipidemia
Cardioprotective - Together with A. auricula's general anti-oxidant properties, A. auricula polysaccharides shows a strong cardio protective effect, especially in aged mice, enhancing the activity of superoxide dismutase and reducing lipid peroxidation
