“…Mushrooms are considered a nutritious and low-calorie food source due to their high protein, fat, mineral, and vitamin content (Hamza et al,2024). Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) is the second-largest edible mushroom that has experienced increased growth in terms of production and usage over the past few years (Salwan et al, 2021). They provide nutrition to consumers, as well as the benefits are multifaceted.…”

Worldwide, edible mushrooms are prized for their medical and nutraceutical qualities. Because of their high protein content, low fat and cholesterol levels, low-calorie content, and abundance of vital vitamins, they are acknowledged as the new superfood of the future. This is considered that mushrooms are the only vegetarian source of vitamin D because they contain high amount of ergosterol and fat-soluble vitamins. Limited information exists regarding the composition and amount of fiber, although polysaccharides such as β-glucans increase the nutritional value of mushrooms. Mushrooms are a fantastic food because of their many pharmacological and nutraceutical qualities, as has been noted. Shiitake mushrooms are nutrient-dense, widely farmed fungal plants and possess various pharmacological and nutraceutical properties. The purpose of this review is to compile the most recent information on the health advantages and medicinal uses of shiitake mushrooms.

Shiitake mushroom ( Lentinula edodes ) hold high nutritional and medicinal value as they contain an abundance of health-promoting compounds. However, the effect of long-term postharvest storage on the variation in the levels of health-promoting compounds has not been extensively studied. In this study, we investigated the changes in the levels of phenolic compounds, antioxidants, eritadenine, and ergothioneine in shiitake mushrooms stored at three different temperatures (1, 3, and 5 °C) for 4 weeks. Compared to mushrooms stored at lower temperatures, those stored at 5 °C exhibited a higher level of total phenolics in their pileus after 2 weeks of storage; however, storage at 5 °C also increased the deterioration of the fruiting body of these mushrooms. In mushrooms stored at all temperatures, the eritadenine content in the pilei tended to increase up to 2 weeks of storage. In contrast, the ergothioneine content in the pileus decreased during storage, with a significantly lower level detected in mushrooms stored at 5 °C for 4 weeks. Together, these results suggest that the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of phenolics and eritadenine may be related to mushroom deterioration during storage. Our findings indicate that the levels of health-promoting compounds in shiitake mushrooms are influenced by storage temperature, suggesting the potential to control adjustments of specific bioactive compounds by regulating storage conditions.

“…A distinctive culinary property of the group is a garlicky or radish-like flavor that is due to cyclic organosulfur compounds, such as lenthionine ( 7 , 8 ). A large body of literature explores the potential health benefits of L. edodes , which is a component of Chinese traditional medicine and contemporary “nutraceuticals” ( 9 ).…”

Lentinula is a broadly distributed group of fungi that contains the cultivated shiitake mushroom, L. edodes . We sequenced 24 genomes representing eight described species and several unnamed lineages of Lentinula from 15 countries on four continents. Lentinula comprises four major clades that arose in the Oligocene, three in the Americas and one in Asia–Australasia. To expand sampling of shiitake mushrooms, we assembled 60 genomes of L. edodes from China that were previously published as raw Illumina reads and added them to our dataset. Lentinula edodes sensu lato (s. lat.) contains three lineages that may warrant recognition as species, one including a single isolate from Nepal that is the sister group to the rest of L. edodes s. lat., a second with 20 cultivars and 12 wild isolates from China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East, and a third with 28 wild isolates from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. Two additional lineages in China have arisen by hybridization among the second and third groups. Genes encoding cysteine sulfoxide lyase ( lecsl ) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase ( leggt ), which are implicated in biosynthesis of the organosulfur flavor compound lenthionine, have diversified in Lentinula . Paralogs of both genes that are unique to Lentinula ( lecsl 3 and leggt 5b) are coordinately up-regulated in fruiting bodies of L. edodes . The pangenome of L. edodes s. lat. contains 20,308 groups of orthologous genes, but only 6,438 orthogroups (32%) are shared among all strains, whereas 3,444 orthogroups (17%) are found only in wild populations, which should be targeted for conservation.
