Prebiotic Power

Prebiotic Power

The wild mushroom Lentinus squarrosulus (no widely used common name) stimulated the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum and L. pentosus) by up to 74%, nearly matching the standard prebiotic inulin. At the same time, it suppressed harmful bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella typhi, and Staphylococcus aureus. Its extracts contained fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid, compounds linked to gut and metabolic health.
