Scientists from Taiwan's Academia Sinica have made a new discovery about a species of mushroom called the oyster mushroom. According to scientists, in the 1980s, it was found that this mushroom species is living by hunting small insects.
According to a report, scientists conducted an experiment and realized that the specialty of this mushroom is that it neither has arms nor legs. So how does this mushroom hunt itself to survive? To find this out, scientists started further studies and found that this mushroom has a special property that helps it survive. This oyster mushroom has a small lollipop-like structure, which opens upon exposure to a roundworm. When these lollipop-like structures come in contact with insects, they immediately break down and the mushroom releases a highly toxic gas. The effect of this gas is so intense that the digestive system stops working. But there is no need to fear, this mushroom is not harmful to humans.
A storehouse of vitamins for the human body
According to experts, this mushroom is very tasty and nutritious. According to a study published in a research journal, oyster mushrooms are rich in vitamin C and vitamin B complex. These vitamins help you survive the changing seasons. Apart from this, oyster mushroom contains 1.6 to 2.5% protein.
