Chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of the Arctic mushroom Lycoperdon molle Pers
The biochemical adaptations of fungi to the harsh conditions of the Arctic may mean that these organisms have properties useful to people. Using samples of the puffball mushroom Lycoperdon molle Pers. (Basidiomycota, Fungi) collected at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, we examined the in vitro antioxidant pote...

The biochemical adaptations of fungi to the harsh conditions of the Arctic may mean that these organisms have properties useful to people.
