Mycology

For time immemorial, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) have been widely used in China for disease treatment and promotion of general well-being. However, in recent years, many studies have shown that mycotoxins produced by fungi could contaminate CHMs due to unfavourable pre- or post-harvest conditions, raising major concern for consumer safety. At present, there is a significant focus on developing novel mycotoxin detection methods for analysing CHMs, and numerous studies have aimed to determine which kinds of raw herbal materials are most susceptible to mycotoxin contamination. In this review, we focus on recent advances in understanding and detection of mycotoxins in domestic raw herbal materials and related products from 2000 to 2018. Aspects of mycotoxin contamination of CHMs covered in this review include common mycotoxin contaminants in CHMs, maximum mycotoxin residue limits, analytical methods for mycotoxin detection and their applications and limitations, as well as a brief discussion of the trends in ongoing research.

The natural products community has been investigating secondary metabolites from marine fungi for several decades, but when one attempts to search for validated reports of new natural products from marine fungi, one encounters a literature saturated with reports from 'marine-derived' fungi. Of the 1000+ metabolites that have been characterized to date, only approximately 80 of these have been isolated from species from exclusively marine lineages. These metabolites are summarized here along with the lifestyle and habitats of their producing organisms. Furthermore, we address some of the reasons for the apparent disconnect between the stated objectives of discovering new chemistry from marine organisms and the apparent neglect of the truly exceptional obligate marine fungi. We also offer suggestions on how to reinvigorate enthusiasm for marine natural products discovery from fungi from exclusive marine lineages and highlight the need for critically assessing the role of apparently terrestrial fungi in the marine environment.

Hypocrellins, a group of naturally occurring perylenequinone pigments produced by Shiraia bambusicola, are notable for their potential use in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treating cancers and viruses. Traditionally, hypocrellins have been extracted from the fruiting bodies of S. bambusicola, a parasitic fungus on bamboo. However, the yield from wild Shiraia fruiting bodies is often insufficient, prompting a shift towards seeking other fungi with higher yields of hypocrellins as alternative sources. This review comprehensively examines the current research on the isolation, identification, and bioactivity of fungal perylenequinones from Shiraia isolates from ascostromata or fruiting bodies, Shiraia-like endophytes, and other endophytes from bamboos. Additionally, the review discusses the culture methods and conditions for solid-state and submerged fermentation of hypocrellin-producing fungi, including medium components, culture conditions, and optimisation of fermentation factors, as mycelium cultures have emerged as a promising alternative for the production of hypocrellins. Furthermore, novel elicitation strategies are presented to address the bottleneck of lower production of hypocrellins in mycelium cultures, focusing on the preparation, characterisation, and application of biotic and abiotic elicitors. This review aims to facilitate further exploration and utilisation of fungal resources and elicitation strategies for enhanced production of hypocrellins in mycelium cultures.

Polypore fungi are an important part of forest ecosystems. In the last decade, the taxonomic status and species number of polypore fungi have changed greatly, and many new taxa have been discovered. China is one of the countries with the most abundant and diverse polypore fungi in the world, and a total of 1,214 polypore fungal species were reported here. This study lists the polypore fungi with their diversity, taxonomic status, habitats, geographical distributions, and molecular data. All the polypore fungi in China belong to the phylum Basidiomycota, subphylum Agaricomycotina, and class Agaricomycetes, including 11 orders, 55 families, and 266 genera. The orders Polyporales and Hymenochaetales are dominant, and the families Polyporaceae and Hymenochaetaceae are dominant. The overall distribution trend of polypore fungi in China shows that more species are distributed in the south and fewer are distributed in the north. In addition, different nutritional modes of polypore fungi have different preferences for host species, with white-rot fungi preferring angiosperm trees and brown-rot fungi preferring gymnosperm trees.
