This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the Agaricus genus of mushrooms. The genome sequencing of A. bitorquis strain BH01 provides valuable insights into the potential for artificial cultivation and breeding, which will facilitate the development of the field of mushrooms as functional food manufacture.

This study reveals potential contamination in inner city areas and suggests that consumption of A. bitorquis should be limited and substituted when possible due to the presence of cadmium.
2022
Here we determined metal concentrations, and antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer potential of two edible mushrooms Agaricus campestris and Boletus edulis. The concentrations of nine metals were determined and all metals are present in the allowable concentrations.
2017
Our objective was to study the effect of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light irradiation on the vitamin D2 content of several edible fruit bodies and mycelia and their antioxidant properties. Eleven species of fresh mushroom fruiting bodies, including species from each of the six genera, Agaricus, Agrocybe, Auricularia, Hypsizigus, Lentinula and Pholiota, and five species from Pleurotus genus, were irradiated with UV-B light for 2 h.
2015
The fruiting bodies of fresh and wild Clitocybe odora, Lentinellus cochleatus and Agaricus essettei were investigated for volatile compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis using hydro-distillation and solvent extraction techniques.
