Nutraceutical components of culinary-medicinal Shiitake from various culture conditions

Lentinus edodes (Shiitake) is an edible mushroom cultivated and marketed due to its nutritional and medicinal values (1-4). This mushroom is appreciated for its unique fragrant taste; its high dietetic potential is valuable for health and its bioactive molecules explain its interest as medicinal mushroom (5). Shiitake can be grown using various substrates and culture conditions (6). Our work focused on the comparison of nutraceutical compounds (i.e., amino acids and ergosterol) of L. edodes fruit bodies cultivated in organic or non-organic (O/NO) growing conditions in the French region of Occitanie (7-9). https://sciforum.net/paper/view/conference/7702
