Bioactive Profile of the Wild Mushroom Trogia cantharelloides

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fungal diversity, ecology and control management

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Wild mushrooms have become an integral part of the human diet, health, and industrial applications worldwide. However, many of them will not serve as food due to their unpalatable taste or poisonous or gastrointestinal problems. Trogia cantharelloides is one such mushroom not preferred as food by the tribals in the Western Ghats of India. This study provides baseline data on the T. cantharelloides obtained from the foothills of the southwest region of the Western Ghats of India. Biochemical components like organic acids, sugars, polyphenols, flavonoids, phytic acid, vitamins, trypsin inhibition activity, hemagglutinin activity, and antimicrobial potential of T. cantharelloides are addressed. The therapeutic potential of the bioactive compounds of T. cantharelloides was documented using Duke’s phytochemical and ethnobotanical database (www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/duke). Accordingly, a total of 15 compounds compiled along with their characteristics, biological activity, and applications. This study provides scope to explore the bioactive potential of non-edible mushrooms for their use in future health, therapeutic and industrial applications.
