Erinacines isolated from mycelium have been promoted as strong stimulators of nerve growth factor synthesis.  Neuronal cell death is also a feature of neurodegenerative disease and may be induced by endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress.ER stress-attenuating compounds have been isolated from H. erinaceus, and these might reduces the risk of neurodegenerative disease-induced cell death.

Grape King Bio is a manufacture of functional ingredients for the food, beverage, medical food and pharmaceutical industries.  We can use the fermentation technology to produce many kind of mushroom mycelium such as Antrodia camphorata, Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps, Coriolus versicolor, Phellinus linteus, Grifola frondosa, Hericium erinaceum, Lignosus rhinocerus and Armillaria mellea.  These kinds of extracts are mycelium products; they can be food additives and functional ingredients.  For the Hericium erinaceus mycelia, it is brown powder containing at less 8% active polysaccharide.
