Diversity of Mushrooms and Evaluation of Biochemical Properties of Selected Edible Mushrooms in Pallikkal Village, Malappuram District, Kerala

The study was carried out to document the mushrooms in Pallikkal village, Malappuram, Kerala and to analyse the preliminary phytochemical and biochemical constituents of Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus squarrosulus. The qualitative phytochemical analysis in methanolic extract was carried out to screen the presence of primary and secondary metabolites using the standard procedures. The edible mushrooms of Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus squarrosulus were performed to determine the total amount of carbohydrate, protein and phenol present in the fruiting bodies. In methanolic extract the phytochemical analysis results revealed the presence of carbohydrate, protein, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides and steroids and the highest amount of carbohydrate (326.07 mg/g), protein (309.2 mg/g) and phenol (37.33 mg/g) were present in Agaricus bisporous.
