Pleurotus citrinopileatus, popularly known as "golden oyster mushroom" have medicinal properties, which are attributed mainly to the presence of bioactive polysaccharides. In this work, two partially 3-O-methylated galactans were isolated from the fruiting bodies of this fungus, via successive aqueous extraction, followed by fractionation by freeze-thawing, and precipitation of soluble material with Fehling solution. The structural assignments were carried out using mono- and bidimensional NMR spectroscopy, monosaccharide composition, and methylation analyses. The polysaccharides were characterized as linear, partially 3-O-methylated (1 → 6)-linked α-galactopyranans, containing only Gal and 3-O-Me-Gal, in 2:1 and 1:1 molar ratios, with molar masses of 37.6 × 10 g/mol and 28.5 × 10 g/mol, respectively. Similar structures have been described for other Pleurotus spp., but showing a lower content of 3-O-Me-Gal.

Adding edible fungal polysaccharides to animal diets improves growth performance, meat quality, intestinal health, and immunity without adverse effects. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of polysaccharide (PCP, including PCP250, PCP500, PCP750, and PCP1000 mg/kg) on the growth performance, meat quality, and microbial composition of Arbor Acre (AA) broilers (total 180) by metabolomics and high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that adding PCP enhanced chicken meat tenderness, redness (*), and water retention and raised essential amino acids and flavor amino acids (such as umami and sweet amino acids) content.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how low-frequency alternating magnetic field (LF-AMF) affects the production of extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) in the fermentation of Pleurotus citrinopileatus, optimizing conditions like fermentation time and temperature.
- Under specific conditions and LF-AMF treatment, mycelial biomass increased by 11.30% and EPS yield increased by 23.09% compared to untreated fermentation, indicating enhanced growth.
- Morphological changes in the mycelium, such as increased looseness and decreased diameter, along with improved cell membrane permeability and antioxidant capacity of EPS, suggested that LF-AMF positively influences both fermentation and metabolic activities.

Agricultural activities produce large quantities of organic byproducts and waste rich in lignocellulosic materials, which are not sufficiently utilized. In this study, alternative agricultural waste products, namely, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) from the cultivation of edible mushrooms and the roots of leafy vegetables from hydroponic cultivation (HRL), were evaluated for their potential to be used as substrates for the cultivation of and their effects on the quality, the nutritional value, the chemical properties (lipid, protein, carbohydrate, ash, fatty acid and carbohydrate composition) and the bioactive content (total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity) of produced mushrooms. SMS and HRL (in different ratios with and without additives) and wheat straw with additives (WS-control) were used.

The oyster mushroom is cultivated globally, renowned for its unique texture and umami flavor, as well as its rich content of nutrients and functional ingredients. This study aims to identify the descriptive sensory characteristics, assess the consumer acceptability of new superior lines and cultivars of yellow oyster mushrooms, in addition to exploring the relationship between these descriptive characteristics and consumer acceptability. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares regression (PLSR).

Singer (PCS) has attracted increasing attention as a raw material for medicine and food. Its quality is greatly affected by the accumulation of metabolites, which varies with the applied drying methods. In this study, we utilize an approach based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/Q Exactive mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS) to reveal the metabolic profiles of PCS from three different drying methods (natural air-drying, NAD; hot-air-drying, HAD; vacuum freeze-drying, VFD).
