BLACK FUNGUS
Szechwan Purpura was reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. A 32-year-old U.S. researcher (during an experiment using his own blood platelets for clotting) found after some 50 trials one morning that his platelets would not agglutinate or release serotonin on exposure to epinephrine. He and his co-workers were able to trace this back to black fungus. This mushroom inhibited platelet response in the researcher and other volunteers for 3-24 days. This mushroom should not be ingested prior to surgery or by patients with poor blood clotting.
