To obtain rich in organic forms of zinc extracts of Lentinus edodes, possessing putative higher immunostimulating properties than actually used, mycelia were cultivated in zinc(II) enriched media. Culture media were enriched in zinc in concentration ranging from 0 to 90 microg mL(-1), added to the m...
