“…constitutes a value chain in several regions such as Altos tsotsil-seltal, Meseta Comiteca and Frailesca (Albores and Álvarez, 2015). There are several reasons why the cultivation of mushrooms has become so popular, among them are the mushroom's ability to grow in a wide range of agroindustrial and forest residues (Ingale and Ramteke, 2010), the low technical requirements to carry technology (Ahmed et al, 2016), the organoleptic qualities and the delicate flavor of the fungus (Mohamed et al, 2011), the versatility as a fresh ingredient in traditional dishes (Jandaik and Anjana, 2017) and the health benefits that contributes its consumption (Masri et al, 2017). In contrast, one of the challenges of mushroom cultivation is post-harvest handling and the short shelf life of fresh mushroom.…”

“…In comparison to other therapeutic mushrooms, oyster mushrooms are becoming more popular as health promoters [ 11 ]. The presence of a large number of nutritious components such as lectins, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals in oyster mushrooms makes them able to possess potential anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial and anti-hypercholesterolemic properties [ 12 , 13 ]. In comparison to other edible mushrooms, oyster and shiitake mushrooms have a brief growing period and can be harvested throughout the year [ 14 ].…”

“…These macrofungi have been well documented as to the source of polyphenolic, phenolics, polysaccharides, terpenoids, selenium, vitamins and volatile organic compounds. Many of these compounds have been associated with excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, skin renewal, skin whitening and moisturizing effects [4][5][6]. Macrofungi like Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), Maitake (Grifola frondosa), cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis latifolia), Fu Ling (Wolfiporia extensa), etc are popularly used in facial creams and serums in East Asian countries including Korea, Japan and China [7][8][9].…”
