“…Up to this time, lectins, polysaccharides, terpenoids, sterols, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids have been isolated from mushrooms (Ajith & Janardhanan, ; Lindequist, Niedermeyer, & Julich, ; Öztürk, Tel‐Cayan, Muhammad, Terzioglu, & Duru, ; Wasser & Weis, ). Among these biomolecules, polysaccharides are widely used in various biomedical applications and functional foods due to their important and powerful biological benefits such as immunostimulatory, antitumor, and antioxidant activities (Yan, Pei, Ma, Wang, & Liu, ). Mushrooms contain a different type of polysaccharides such as α‐ and β‐glucans, hemicellulose, chitin, xylans, galactans, and mannans.…”
