Chinese Medicine: Shiitake/shiang-gu (Lentinula edodes)

The medicinal value of shiitake is not really well appreciated in Western medicine, though it has a long history as a valuable remedy in traditional Asian medicine. Research on the chemicals present in Lentinula edodes seems to be revealing medical products and it may become a valuable resource in fighting diseases.

Lentinula edodes  - also known as 'shiitake', 'oak mushroom'. Lentinula edodes is grown usually on logs of oak outdoors in forests. Environmental manipulation of the crop is achieved by heavy watering, shading or positioning the logs in areas of different microclimate. The cropping period is 3 to 5 years. A more intensive cultivation technique has recently been developed involving growth on synthetic logs mainly sawdust and other agricultural wastes. Lentinula edodes is largely produced in Japan, China and South Korea. Lentinula edodes accounts for 10% of world production of cultivated mushrooms.

Claims have been made that shiitake has medicinal value as a cancer preventive and in treatment of:  colds and flu; virus infections; hepatitis; incontinence; environmental allergies; diabetes; high blood pressure; immune weakness; high cholesterol; chronic fatigue syndrome; poor blood circulation; upper respiratory diseases; exhaustion and weakness following antitumor treatments; and in alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy.

Part of any positive medicinal effects of shiitake may result from it serving as a dietary supplement, particularly the provision of various amino acids such as isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and valine, as well as vitamins B1, B2, B12 and also mineral salts. Regular intake may prevent rickets, especially in infants, which could be due to a disorder of phosphorus and calcium metabolism caused by vitamin D deficiency. This is because Lentinula edodes contains the provitamin ergosterol, which is not present in much quantity in vegetables, but is converted to vitamin D in presence of sunlight. Vitamin D increases resistance against illnesses and has preventive and curative effects on colds.

Lentinula edodes also contains adenine and choline, which may prevent the occurrence of cirrhosis of the liver  as well as vascular sclerosis. Tyrosinase contained in Lentinula edodes tends to lower blood pressure. Two other constituents which have been isolated from Lentinula edodes which tend to reduce serum cholesterol  are: C6H11O4N5 and C9H11O3N5, namely [2(R), 3(R)–dihydroxy- 4-(9-adenyl)-butyric acid and 2(R)-hydroxy-4-(9-adenyl)-butyric acid].

The most extravagant claims are that Lentinula edodes is said to be the best example of those medicinal mushrooms from Asia that are foods containing cancer-fighting nutrients. Approximately 50 species of mushroom appear to have some medicinal value, each with its own unique chemistry. Shiitake is claimed to be able to inhibit the growth of sarcoma 180 in white mice by as much as 97.5%, whilst inhibition of Ehrlich carcinoma is 80%. Reports in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated that giving shiitake to two patients with probable pre AIDS improved the patients general conditions and improved their immune status. The report concluded that this agent may prove to be effective in the suppression of the AIDS condition, but it suffers from the problems, common in this sort of report, that the sample size is very small and the results are qualitative rather than quantitative.
