Abstract

Mushrooms, generally belonging to Basidiomycetes, harbor numerous metabolites of nutraceutical and therapeutic significance. Since ancient civilizations, medicinal and edible mushrooms have been used by humans not only as valued food but also in medications. Mushrooms are manufacturers of diverse secondary metabolites possessing more than 130 therapeutic properties including antibacterial, antiviral, analgesic, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, immunomodulatory, hypocholesterolemic, mitogenic/regenerative, and many more. Recently, researches have advanced in the area of exploration of these valuable low-molecular-weight metabolites to discover novel bioactive compounds. These mushroom derived compounds have tremendous potential for sustainable agriculture and in industrial sectors, also. This chapter deals with the protocol for extraction, isolation, and purification of valuable functional secondary metabolites of mushrooms. A wide range of bioactive compounds derived from Ganoderma spp., Lentinula edodes, and Flammulina velutipe have been discussed, along with their biological activities of direct applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals manufacturing, or any biological management program.
