“…Aside from low molecular metabolites, they contain beta-glucans and other oligomers that constitute the active ingredients of medicinal mushrooms [ 3 , 4 , 85 , 86 , 87 ]. The Physalacriaceae are known to produce manifold antibiotics from mycelial cultures [ 8 , 88 ], but can also produce polysaccharides with anticancer, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory and hemagglutination activities [ 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]. Many studies have documented the bioactivities of these mushrooms; however, most were inconclusive since they did not go further in identifying the active principles using chromatography and spectral techniques, such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.…”

The oudemansielloid/xeruloid taxa Hymenopellis, Mucidula, Oudemansiella, and Xerula are genera of Basidiomycota that constitute an important resource of bioactive compounds. Numerous studies have shown antimicrobial, anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and other bioactivities of their extracts. The bioactive principles can be divided into two major groups: (a) hydrophilic polysaccharides with relatively high molecular weights and (b) low molecular medium polar secondary metabolites, such as the antifungal strobilurins. In this review, we summarize the state of the art on biodiversity, cultivation of the fungi and bioactivities of their secondary metabolites and discuss future applications. Although the strobilurins are well-documented, with commercial applications as agrochemical fungicides, there are also other known compounds from this group that have not yet been well-studied. Polysaccharides, dihydro-citrinone phenol A acid, scalusamides, and acetylenic lactones such as xerulin, also have potential applications in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and medicinal market and should be further explored. Further studies are recommended to isolate high quality bioactive compounds and fully understand their modes of action. Given that only few species of oudemansielloid/xeruloid mushrooms have been explored for their production of secondary metabolites, these taxa represent unexplored sources of potentially useful and novel bioactive metabolites.

“…One of the most unknown characteristics of Pleurotus mushrooms is their ability to kill and feed on living nematodes ( Thorn and Barron 1984 ) and therefore their potential for the biocontrol of parasitic nematodes ( Degenkolb and Vilcinskas 2016 ; Sivanandhan et al 2017 ; Castañeda-Ramírez et al 2020 ). Although a few compounds produced by Pleurotus have been reported to cause paralysis in nematode worms ( Kwok et al 1992 ; Satou et al 2008 ), a more recent study has suggested that the true identity of the toxins targeting nematodes remains to be discovered ( Lee et al 2020 ).…”

Pleurotus mushrooms are among the most cultivated fungi in the world and are highly valuable for food, medicine, and biotechnology industries. Furthermore, Pleurotus species are carnivorous fungi; they can rapidly paralyze and kill nematodes when nutrient-deprived. The predator–prey interactions between Pleurotus and nematodes are still widely unexplored. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms and the genes involved in the carnivorous behavior of Pleurotus mushrooms remain a mystery. We are attempting to understand the interactions between Pleurotus mushrooms and their nematode prey through genetic and genomic analyses. Two single spores (ss2 and ss5) isolated from a fruiting body of Pleurotus pulmonarius exhibited significant differences in growth and toxicity against nematodes. Thus, using PacBio long reads, we assembled and annotated two high-quality genomes for these two isolates of P. pulmonarius. Each of these assemblies contains 23 scaffolds, including 6 (ss2) and 8 (ss5) telomere-to-telomere scaffolds, and they are among the most complete assembled genomes of the Pleurotus species. Comparative analyses identified the genomic differences between the two P. pulmonarius strains. In sum, this work provides a genomic resource that will be invaluable for better understanding the Italian oyster mushroom P. pulmonarius.
