POLYPORUS ESSENTIAL NOTES
Other active biomolecules of interest are beta-glucanos, the Terpenes, Ergotinein, Gaba and the provitamin d.
Study areas P. umbellatus
Scientific research fungus It has accelerated in recent years because it is considered a fungus with great possibilities.
POLYPORUS DOCUMENTED USES
We currently know that extract It is one of the preferred forms for the use of nutrients of interest contained in Polyporus. This guarantees the high concentration of beta-glucanos, terpenes and biomolecules like Ergone, inter alia.
Polyporus active biomolecules
Polyporus extract can be found in Mico-Polypor, a food supplement in capsules prepared from the standardized and ecological pure extract of this species this form of extract, but combined with Maitake can be found in Hifas-dotox. In the last Sesmi 2022 Congress, the results of a study were presented with the synergy of these extracts.

POLYPORUS CULTIVATION
The Polyporus mushroom feeds on woody substrates, preferably of Oak and have. For this reason, Polyporus's controlled production can be carried out through cultivation bags Ecological substrates of these varieties or their families. As with other mushrooms, it is important to remember that the Ecological culture must be a priority Well we are facing big Natural Bioremediadores. From an ecological perspective it is interesting because they can absorb heavy metals of the environment in which they grow.
Ecological substrates in Umbellatus cultivation
Also, for consumption, the ideal is to choose ecological formulas or, as is already being done lately, Species cultivated in bioreactors on ecological substrates specially designed for the quantitative and qualitative optimization of its active biomolecules.

Habitat and distribution
This mushroom can be found in mixed forests of all latitudes, being less frequent in Europe. Central America, Oriental Asia are the areas where more specimens have been found to grow wild.
Mycological notes
Mycological notes
Umbellatus belongs to the order Poriales, the family Poriaceae, and the genus Grifola, which it shares with Maitake (Grifola frondosa). This variety is saprophytic, decomposing wood for food, and as it matures, its flesh turns from white and soft to hard and woody in consistency. It can be found growing wild in forests, reaching 20 kg and occupying an area ranging from 10 to 50 cm. However, the underground part of the mushroom, the sclerotium, resembles a truffle, which is why in some countries it is also called pig mushroom. Various studies have analysed the composition of the mycelium, concluding that it stands out for its richness in bioactive substances.

Maximum Quality, Purity, and Potency in Our Production Systems
One of the most powerful Hifas da Terra Research Lines focuses on the continuous improvement of bioreactor cultivation for various species (Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, and Maitake) using certified organic substrates, as well as the standardisation of raw ingredient quality to guarantee excellence in every final product derived from each fungus.
Hifas Quality System
Through our own proprietary quality standards, we identify biomolecules and active ingredients, carefully select the fungus strains that contain them, use our own specific analytical systems, and apply analysis protocols across all production phases. Thanks to this rigorous system, we offer natural products, supplements, and nutraceuticals with the Hifas Quality System Guarantee, setting a benchmark for purity and premium quality in the industry.
