History
Ever since the 18th and 19th century fungi in pharmaceuticals have a been vigorously studied. There are over 200 different funigi's, however only 74% are used in antimicrobial activity. Basidiospores, have a long history of medical uses. The tendor polypore,Fomes Fomentarius, was used in hemostatic dressing and bandages. Dioscorisdes- a Greek physician discovered the use of Fomitopsis(Polyporus) officinalis that was used to treat tuberculosis. That very same polypore was found in the body of a 5300 year old Ice-Man.
