Holy city Ayodhya is situated at the bank of river Saryu and has a vast diversity of macrofungi, especially mushroom mycoflora. Some of which are excellently edible and cultivable. Characterization and nutritional composition of four selected cultivable naturally growing mushrooms viz. Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostriatus, Volvariella volvacea and Calocybe indica from different sites of study area (Ayodhya) were evaluated. Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics expressed with natural photographs. The proximate analysis of nutritional values was done by encountering complete mushroom samples that were shade dried, powdered and processed. The macronutrients profiles revealed that the cultivable wild edible mushroom contains protein, carbohydrate, lipid, fiber and ash content ranged from 30.21-34.21%, 22.56-38.39%, 2.35-4.15%, 11.79-23.94% and 7.75-12.97% respectively on dry weight basis. Current study confirms that the selected cultivable wild edible mushrooms are a healthy and good source of food and major alternative source of protein. It also exposed the use of varieties of mushroom in their cultivation practice as well as diet to decrease malnutrition and increase socioeconomic values.
Compositional and nutritional studies on edible wild mushroom from northeast India
Two species of mushrooms Schizophyllum commune and Lentinus edodes from Northeast India were assessed for their nutritive value. Protein contents of S. commune (16%) and L. edodes (23%) were high, but fat content was low (2%) in both the mushrooms. Oleic and linoleic acids accounted for 72-77% of the total fat in both the mushrooms. Essential amino acid contents of S. commune and L. edodes were 34% and 39%, respectively. The chemical scores of S. commune (28) and L. edodes (29) were low compared to whole egg protein. Methionine was the limiting amino acid in both the mushrooms. Protein quality evaluation by NPR (net protein ratio), NPU (net protein utilization) and TDP (true digestibility of protein), showed that the mushrooms were comparatively much lower then casein in all the parameters examined. Animals on L. edodes showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher NPR, RNPR, and NPU than animals on the S. commune diet. True protein digestibility of the L. edodes diet was also significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the S. commune diet. 0
Nutritional composition of two wild mushrooms consumed by the tribals of the Western Ghats of India
Mycology, 2014
This study provides the nutritional qualities of two wild mushrooms (Agaricus abruptibulbus and Termitomyces globulus) commonly consumed by the tribals of Kaiga forests of the Western Ghats of India. Both mushrooms composed of high quantity of crude protein, crude fibre, calorific value and low quantity of crude lipid. Potassium and selenium contents were high, while sodium, calcium and phosphorus contents were low. Except for three essential amino acids (EAAs: leucine, tyrosine and lysine), the rest of the amino acids in both mushrooms were comparable to soybean and wheat. Based on the EAA standards of FAO-WHO, these mushrooms composed of high quantity of threonine, isoleucine and histidine. The EAA score of isoleucine in cooked A. abruptibulbus and threonine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, histidine and sulphur amino acids in cooked T. globulus were substantially high. Oleic acid constitutes a major unsaturated fatty acid in these mushrooms, which was significantly increased in cooked...
Bioprospecting of selected wild mushrooms from the tribal zone of North-west Himalaya, India
Mushroom Research, 2023
Fourteen wild edible and medicinal mushrooms representing ten families were collected from an altitude range of 1,867-4,187 metres above mean sea level form Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, NW Himalaya. The biochemical analysis of sporocarps revealed that the carbohydrate content was the maximum in Coprinus comatus and protein was highest in Auricularia auricula-judae, while the fibre content was recorded highest in Ganoderma lucidum. The energy value was determined using the amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fats present in the sporocarps and was found highest in Helvella lacunosa and lowest in G. lucidum. The ash content of sporocarps was used to estimate the mineral composition and was found highest in Sparassis crispa, closely followed by Lycoperdon perlatum, Russula brevipes, and lowest in R. stricta. The potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium content in general were recorded higher in majority of mushrooms as compared to zinc, manganese, copper, etc. Despite the variations in nutrient content, these mushrooms appear to have a good overall nutritional profile. They have the potential to greatly fulfil people's requirement of proteins, macro and micronutrients. Therefore, mushrooms may be included in our diets on a regular basis to improve its quality.

Mushroom cultivation has been started recently in Bangladesh. Awareness of the nutritional and medicinal importance of mushrooms is not extensive. In this study, the nutritional values of dietary mushrooms- Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus sajorcaju, Pleurotus florida and Calocybe indica that are very popular among the cultivated mushrooms in Bangladesh have been determined. These mushrooms were rich in proteins (20~25%) and fibers (13~24% in dry samples) and contained a lower amount of lipid (4 to 5%). The carbohydrate contents ranged from 37 to 48% (on the basis of dry weight). These were also rich in mineral contents (total ash content is 8~13%). The pileus and gills were protein and lipid rich and stripe was carbohydrate and fiber-rich. The moisture content of mushrooms ranged from 86 to 87.5%. Data of this study suggest that mushrooms are rich in nutritional value.

In this study we have evaluated the nutritional analysisand mineral content of two varieties of mushroom species include oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus) and Reshii (Ganoderma lucidum). The mushroom varieties were harvested and dried, then taken to the laboratory for proximate and mineral analysis by standard assay methods. For both mushrooms the nutritional composition was analyzed namely pH, moisture content, crude fibre, ash, water soluble protein, total lipid, total soluble sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and starch content. However ten mineral elements were analyzed: potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, cupper, iron, manganese and zinc having no significance difference in values of both mushroom species. Based on the result these mushrooms have high nutrient potentials hence it will serve as a good means of reducing the incidence and high prevalence of malnutrition in Bangladesh since it is a cheap food source that is within the reach of the poor.
