“…Among them, the highest amount of β-carotene was determined in the following species: A. arvensis (0.75 µg/100 g), Agaricus comtulus (0.70 µg/100 g), Amanita caesarea (0.71 µg/100 g), C. cibarius (0.79 µg/100 g), Lentinula cladopus (0.75 µg/100 g), and Pleurotus cystidiosus (0.79 µg/100 g). The highest concentration of lycopene was found in A. arvensis (0.38 µg/100 g), C. cibarius (0.33 µg/100 g), and Lactarius pubescens (0.33 µg/100 g) [56].…”

“…In the work of Sharma and Gautam [56], the content of carotenoids, including β-carotene and lycopene, in 20 species was determined. Among them, the highest amount of β-carotene was determined in the following species: A. arvensis (0.75 µg/100 g), Agaricus comtulus (0.70 µg/100 g), Amanita caesarea (0.71 µg/100 g), C. cibarius (0.79 µg/100 g), Lentinula cladopus (0.75 µg/100 g), and Pleurotus cystidiosus (0.79 µg/100 g).…”

There are about 3000 species of mushrooms, which have a high amount of substances that are beneficial to human health, such as antioxidants. It is well known that oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and diseases of the central nervous system. One way to prevent homeostasis disorders that occur as a result of excessive production of pro-oxidative substances is to include the ingredients having antioxidant properties in the diet. Several compounds, such as those with phenolic and indole derivatives as well as carotenoids and some vitamins, exhibit antioxidant activity. These substances are present in many foods, including mushrooms. In addition, they have certain unique compounds that are not found in other sources (e.g., norbadione A). The present work discusses selected ingredients exhibiting antioxidant activity, which are found in various species of mushrooms as wells as describes the content of these compounds in the extracts obtained from mushrooms using artificial digestive juice.

“…But higher than wild culinary and common edible mushroom Lyophyllum decastes (18.31%) 21 . Moreover, nutrient profiling of presently tested species are very much similar to the composition of several comercially cultivated edible and highly prized medicinal mushroom species analyzed from Himalayan regions viz., Clavaria cinerea, Agaricus bisporus, Boletus edulis, Morchella esculenta, Cordyceps sinensis , and Lentinula edod 22 23 24 25 26 . Results obtained for nutritional composition of presently evaluated species are in confirmity with other species of wild and commercially cultivated mushrooms with high protein and carbohydrate contents and low fat levels which directly making them nutritionally valuable 27 .…”

Ramaria Fr. and Clavaria L. are the two major genera of coral mushrooms within families Gomphaceae and Clavariaceae, respectively. Besides having important role in forest ecology, some species of these are reported to possess high nutraceutical and bioactive potential. There is a hidden diversity of coral mushrooms in Northwestern Himalayas. Present studies describe the detailed biochemical profiling and antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of twelve coral mushroom species. Biochemical profiling of nutrients and nutraceuticals was done with standard techniques and by using HPLC, UPLC and GC. Experiments were also conducted to check the toxic metals detection. Antioxidant activities were calculated using EC50 values from mushroom extracts. Antibacterial activities were checked on six pathogenic bacterial strains through minimum inhibition concenterations. Although, differences were observed in the net values of individual species but all the species were found to be rich in protein, macro and micro minerals, carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, phenolics, tocopherols, anthocynadins and carotenoids. All the species showed significant antioxidant and antibacterial activities. These species are reported to free from heavy toxic metals. Present studies will open the way for their large scale commercial exploitations and use in pharmaceutical industries as antioxidant, antibacterial and nutraceutical constituents.

“…These compounds, apart from polyphenols, determine the antioxidant properties of fungi [ 147 , 148 ]. One species with a high vitamin content is Cantharellus cibarius [ 149 , 150 ]. The content of total tocopherols in the fruiting bodies of this species is 4.33 mg/g (α−tocopherol–1.25 mg/g, β−tocopherol–1.79 mg/g, γ−tocopherol–1.29 mg/g).…”

Many species of fungi including lichenized fungi (lichens) and algae have the ability to biosynthesize biologically active compounds. They produce, among others, polysaccharides with anticancer and immunostimulatory properties: (1) Background: This paper presents the characteristics of the most important bioactive compounds produced by fungi and algae; (2) Methods: Based on the example of the selected species of mushrooms, lichens and algae, the therapeutic properties of the secondary metabolites that they produce and the possibilities of their use are presented; (3) Results: The importance of fungi, especially large-fruited mushrooms, lichens and algae, in nature and human life is discussed, in particular, with regard to their use in the pharmaceutical industry and their nutritional value; (4) Conclusions: The natural organisms, such as fungi, lichenized fungi and algae, could be used as supplementary medicine, in the form of pharmaceutical preparations and food sources. Further advanced studies are required on the pharmacological properties and bioactive compounds of these organisms.
