Skin Infection Shield

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum), rich in triterpenoids like ganoderic acid, were used to create zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. These nanoparticles, combined with the mushroom’s compounds, showed strong effects against fungi that cause skin infections like ringworm and athlete’s foot. Higher concentrations of this treatment were more effective at stopping fungal growth.
