One of the species I identified in this lab was an oysterling mushroom. The Romans saw these mushrooms as God-like foods, while the Ancient Chinese thought edible mushrooms (like oysterling mushrooms) would guarantee immortally. Though these claims are not true, oysterling mushrooms can be used in the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders, like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimers. Oysterling mushrooms and other edible mushrooms contain many different enzymes, that can remove neurotransmitters from the synaptic clefts in the case of Parkinson's disease and proteins that can control brain decay in Alzheimers patients.
