Oyster mushrooms are also packed with fiber, which benefits your gut and overall health. The beta-glucans found in oyster mushrooms are linked to improving glucose, fat metabolism, and blood pressure. Additionally, oyster mushrooms contain mevinolin, which lowers cholesterol, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other conditions.

This review provides a bibliometric analysis of the recent literature on biological activities, highlights trends in the field, and highlights the countries and journals with the highest contribution. It also discusses the nutritional value of the total content of phenolic and other phytochemicals in some species of mushrooms.

Pleurotus spp. is one of the most important cultivated mushrooms in the world. The relationship between mycelial growth and production yield of Pleurotus strains collected from southern Viet Nam was determined.Total 10 of both wild and cultivated strains including 6 phoenix and 4 oyster strains were used in this study. The mycelial growth rate was conducted by 4 models such as the acreage of mycelial colonies on potato dextrose agar, the dried weight of mycelia in potato dextrose broth, the area of mycelial colonies on sawdust plates and the depth of mycelial colonies on sawdust testubes. The volume of mycelial colonies was estimated based on the area of mycelial colonies and their depth on sawdust plates.

Pleurotus eryngii produces various functional molecules that mediate physiological functions in humans. Recently, we observed that P. eryngii produces molecules that have antidepressant functions. An ethanol extract of the fruiting body of P. eryngii was obtained, and the extract was purified by XAD-16 resin using an open column system. The ethanol eluate was separated by HPLC, and the fraction with an antidepressant function was identified.

Promotion of mushroom growth by means of biological agents replacing chemicals is an emerging and highly demanded issue in the sector of mushroom cropping. The present study was aimed to search for a novel bacterium potentially able to enhance mushroom growth and yield. A total of 2165 bacterial isolates purified from different samples were scrutinized through various growth-promoting attributes.

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are very important because they are used in biotechnological applications in different industrial areas. The aim of the study was to determine the best EPS producer Pleurotus sp., to optimize EPS production and to perform partial purification and characterization of the produced EPS.

Mushrooms can be used as a source of cosmeceutical ingredients. Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus ethanolic extracts present important bioactive properties, but with some compounds showing easy oxidation and degradation. In the present work, microencapsulation by atomization/coagulation technique was used to protect the extracts. The obtained microspheres were characterised in terms of morphology, particle size distribution and encapsulation efficiency.
