概要
What if the cure for our most complex diseases is hiding in plain sight, looking like a piece of discarded trash on a gravel road?
In this episode of Lichen The Vibe, we unpack the mind-blowing science behind Aleuria aurantia, commonly known as the Orange Peel Fungus. It might look like a discarded citrus peel, but on a molecular level, it contains a biological superpower: a specific protein (lectin) that acts like a bloodhound for cancer cells. We break down how this fungi's 6-bladed "beta-propeller" structure detects the microscopic "typos" on the surface of breast, colon, and liver cancer cells.
Plus, we cover how to identify it, dangerous lookalikes, why you should never forage on the side of a road (hello, bioaccumulation), and how other common mushrooms like the Button and Oyster are being used to fight off retroviruses like HIV.
