Origin, Cultivation, and Use of the Agaricus Mushroom
However, it was also found that the mushroom species Agaricus brasiliensis is genetically identical to Agaricus blazei Murrill – all three Latin names thus refer to the same mushroom. Colloquially, Agaricus is also known as "Sun Mushroom" and "Mushroom of Life." In Brazil, it is also called "God's Mushroom," and in China and Japan, it is known as "Himematsutake." Agaricus belongs – as can be clearly seen from its appearance of a white stem and usually light brown, rounded cap – to the genus of cultivated mushrooms (Champignons). As the scientific name Agaricus brasiliensis already suggests, the Agaricus mushroom is originally from South America, more precisely: the Brazilian rainforest. There it is – as it now is throughout the entire South American continent – a popular edible mushroom known for its slightly nutty aroma. After being exclusively wild-collected for a long time, Agaricus has also been commercially cultivated in fields since the early 1990s. It can also be cultivated very well on substrate – like all representatives of the cultivated mushroom genus. Meanwhile, the cultivation of Agaricus has also spread to Asia.
Since the almond mushroom was only discovered in the 1950s and scientific interest in the mushroom only developed in the 1980s, it is still relatively unknown outside of Asia and South America and is the youngest member of the Hawlik vital mushroom products.
Agaricus Mushroom Ingredients
The vital mushroom Agaricus is characterized by an exceptionally balanced ratio of valuable vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, as well as a particularly high proportion of polysaccharides – the highest among vital mushrooms! It is particularly rich in mushroom-typical beta-glucans, a special type of polysaccharides that are contained in Agaricus extract in a particularly easily usable form. Also noteworthy is its high content of ergosterol, a precursor to vitamin D.
