Anti-Aging Magic

Different parts of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus pulmonarius), especially stem waste, were rich in phenolic compounds like p-coumaric acid and showed strong anti-aging effects. Extracts inhibited key enzymes linked to skin aging, including tyrosinase, elastase, and collagenase, with the cap and stem parts offering targeted benefits depending on the substrate used.
