In this episode, MushroomLink’s Dr Jenny Ekman chats with Dr Emma Beckett about the Hort Innovation project MU22006, Online resource for mushroom health & nutrition science for healthcare professionals.

Emma and the team at FoodIQ Global (Formerly Nutrition Research Australia – NRAUS) are creating the ‘go to place’ for credible and authoritative information on the health benefits of mushrooms. By showcasing the unique health benefits of mushrooms to health professionals, the project hopes to increase the number of practitioners ‘prescribing’ Agaricus mushrooms as a source of nutrition.

Emma discusses the value of a reliable resource created for health professionals by health professionals that goes beyond marketing grabs.

The website or ‘MUSHRoom’ will be a living resource that will be updated regularly as new information becomes available. By consolidating all credible information in once place, knowledge gaps will become clear and can be prioritised for further research.
