As a service to
our customers NAMMEX has listed many of the popular articles on medicinal
mushrooms that have appeared over the last ten years. This listing is designed
to demonstrate the extent to which mushrooms have reached the general public through
consumer as well as trade publications. It is also designed to assist those looking
for further information on medicinal mushrooms.
We have also
listed books that we believe serve as excellent sources of more technical
information. There is a significant amount of published scientific research
on specific mushrooms that is too extensive to list here. Much of this literature
is published in the bibliographies of the books shown.

Tonic Food of Ancient China, by Kenneth Jones, Sylvan Press, Seattle,
1997. 52 pp. Ten thousand feet up, on the mountainous slopes of western China,
native Tibetans methodically search for the one of the most unique and treasured
herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Winter Worm, Summer Grass is the common
name given to Cordyceps sinensis, a small club-shaped fungus growing from
a caterpillar hibernating underneath the grassy ground. As a tonic herb, Cordyceps
is prized for its ability to restore vitality, increase sexual potency, clear
the lungs, and enhance endurance. |
| Medicinal

Hobbs. Botanica Press, 1995. 252 pp. This book is one of a kind and serves as
not only an excellent introduction but also the ultimate reference to the uses
of medicinal mushrooms. This beautiful work contains colour photos of the most
widely used fungi in this category as well as an extensive bibliography of the
scientific research. The author is a well-known botanist and clinical herbalist
with a passion for mushrooms. |

excellent introduction to the kingdom of mushrooms. The first half of the book

history of it's use. The second half outlines practical cultivation methods using
tools and materials found around the home. Great book for beginners. |
