“…Cultivation is necessary to ensure a stable mushroom source especially for potential sources of bioactive compounds. It can also help small farming systems by recycling agricultural wastes and returning them to soil as fertilizer [ 66 ]. The most widely known cultivated mushrooms are Agaricus bisporus and Volvariella volvacea , which represent almost 38% and 16% of total mushroom production in the world [ 67 ].…”

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.

“…Despite a widespread appreciation for edible mushrooms as a delicious alternative protein source, there are still a lot of concerns about consuming wild fungi [ 13 , 14 ]. Currently, there are more than a hundred mushroom species that can be cultivated [ 15 , 16 ], yet less than thirty species are widely recognized as food and only a few are commercially produced [ 17 ]. Agaricus bisporus , Lentinus edodes , Pleurotus spp., and Flammulina velutipes are considered the most cultivated mushroom worldwide.…”

Fungi, especially edible mushrooms, are considered as high-quality food with nutritive and functional values. They are of considerable interest and have been used in the synthesis of nutraceutical supplements due to their medicinal properties and economic significance. Specific fungal groups, including predominantly filamentous endophytic fungi from Ascomycete phylum and several Basidiomycetes, produce secondary metabolites (SMs) with bioactive properties that are involved in the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. These beneficial fungi, while high in protein and important fat contents, are also a great source of several minerals and vitamins, in particular B vitamins that play important roles in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and the maintenance of the nervous system. This review article will summarize and discuss the abilities of fungi to produce antioxidant, anticancer, antiobesity, and antidiabetic molecules while also reviewing the evidence from the last decade on the importance of research in fungi related products with direct and indirect impact on human health.

“…A huge number of studies have proved that mushrooms could be a profitable source of drug development candidates (Dias et al., 2012; Hyde et al., 2019). They are reported to contain several value‐added bioactive metabolites that are responsible for a wide range of pharmacological activities like antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, and so on (Chakraborty et al., 2021; Ghosh et al., 2020; Gupta et al., 2018; Venturella et al., 2021). Recently, mushrooms have become a potential functional food because of their chemical constituents although several publications have addressed the synergistic role between mushroom phenolic compounds and their relevant bioactivities (Bach et al., 2019; Garrab et al., 2019).…”

Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Persoon, a popular medicinal edible mushroom, owns a long history of usage in traditional Chinese medicine and also in other oriental countries. Along with this, its several bioactive compounds have been evolved into food supplements. Meanwhile, this present investigation aimed at extracting bioactive components from fruiting bodies of H. erinaceus using two different solvents and evaluating its in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative efficacy. Chemical analysis showed extracts were rich in phenol, flavonoids, and ascorbic acids while lesser amount of carotenoids were also detected in these extracts. Both extracts were able to scavenge 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (~76%) and 2,2′‐azinobis‐(3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulphonate) radicals (~81%) and also showed chelating activity (~73.05%). The ethanolic extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (total antioxidant capacity 2.17 µg ascorbic acid equivalent/mg of extract) whereas methanolic extract showed moderate capacity (total antioxidant capacity 1.42 µg ascorbic acid equivalent/mg of extract). All extracts displayed antibacterial activity against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria as well (minimum inhibition concentration 1,575–2,750 µg/ml) although methanolic extract showed some selectivity towards bacterial strains. Apart from these, ethanolic fraction has found to exhibit potent cytotoxicity (IC50 403.12 µg/ml) towards lung adenocarcinoma cells. These studies thus provide the reference data that could support this mushroom as an easily accessible source of natural bioactive components. Practical applications Mushroom extracts have long been traditionally used as miracle medicine to treat an extensive range of ailments. These findings indicate the potential benefits of the Hericium erinaceus (Bull.) Persoon extracts for the development of multi‐target therapeutics as well as extraction with appropriate solvents also provide leads for the isolation of various principle compounds. The extracts thus could be used to treat oxidative stress‐related disorders as they are found to contain antioxidant compounds like phenols and others and also they possessed good antimicrobial and anticancer activity.
