👉 Paracynictis is a type of fungus that produces a white, spiky, and odorless substance known as "paracynanin." This substance is typically found in certain fungi such as mycorrhizal fungi and is used by plants to enhance their growth. Paracynanin has been shown to have various functions including enhancing plant nutrient uptake, promoting root development, and regulating the immune system in some species of mushrooms.
