Kojic acid-mediated damage responses induce mycelial regeneration in the basidiomycete Hypsizygus marmoreus.

Mechanical damage can induce fruiting body production in fungi. In this study, the antioxidant kojic acid (KA) was found to enhance injured mycelial regeneration and increase fruiting body production in Hypsizygus marmoreus. KA reduced the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are harmful to...
