Malaysia is blessed with 26 species of primates, the second highest number in an Asian country after Indonesia. This is an honour that few Malaysians are aware of.

Ethnomycological study of local wild edible and medicinal fungi

THF Research Grant A research team from the School of Biological Sciences at USM, led by Dr Rosnida Tajuddin, has been awarded a THF Research Grant to document the historical uses and sociological value of local wild edible and medicinal fungi. They will also analyse the mycotoxin potentially present in wild fungi growing in association with the roots of dipterocarp trees, to help determine whether it is safe for human consumption. This study will enhance our understanding of the conservation status of mushrooms in Malaysia and … [Read more...] about Ethnomycological study of local wild edible and medicinal fungi
