Extracts of Polypore Mushroom Mycelia Reduce Viruses in Honey Bees

Abstract Waves of highly infectious viruses sweeping through global honey bee populations have contributed to recent declines in honey bee health. Bees have been observed foraging on mushroom mycelium, suggesting that they may be deriving medicinal or nutritional value from fungi. Fungi are known to...
