Coprinellus Disseminatus

Coprinellus disseminatus, common name “trooping crumble cap” belongs to the phylum Basidiomyucota and the family Psathyrellaceae. It is a small edible fungal species that generally grows in clusters near the bases of stumps, and is a saphrophyte. A recent study found that the fungal species contains methanol extracts that possess antioxidant properties and dichloromethane, methanol, an aqueous extracts contain antibacterial properties. Extracts of the species was also found to have high antioxidant and antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, and can potentially be used as alternative for nutraceuticals or biologically active compounds - pharmaceutical alternatives that support physiology.
