Mushrooms have been attracting attention as a source of bioactive compounds for the development of dietary supplements and medicines. Many researchers have reported pharmacological effects of edible mushrooms, and have isolated and identified bioactive substances. Lentinula edodes (shiitake) and Flammulina velutipes (enokitake) are the cultivated edible mushrooms that are popular throughout the world. In L. edodes, polyacetylenes and sulfur compounds have been shown to display antimicrobial activity. In F. velutipes, many types of bioactive terpenes have been reported from mycelium culture filtrate or solid culture substrate. This article reviews the bioactive metabolites of low-molecular weight from L. edodes and F. velutipes.

Owing to their nutritional, culinary, and nutraceutical, mushrooms are worldwide consumed and appreciated. Moreover, many of these mushrooms are also known as medicinal mushrooms since they possess several pharmacological properties attributable to a huge number of bioactive compounds derived from their sporophores. Several studies are available in the literature about in vitro and in vivo mechanisms of actions of such bioactive compounds.

The cultivation period of shiitake () is approximately 120-150 d, which is longer than that of other edible mushrooms. The development of fruiting bodies in shiitake is affected by light exposure. In this study, we investigated the effects of blue light on the production and ergothioneine contents of shiitake mushrooms.

This study applied program temperature-controlled drying (PTCD) to optimize the hot-air drying process for shiitake mushrooms, adjusting the drying temperature based on activity changes of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTase) and cysteine sulfoxide lyase (C-S lyase). Compared with constant temperature drying, PTCD (ST_75 and ST_150) significantly enhanced the umami and aroma profiles and sulfur compounds, increasing the levels of key flavor compounds such as glutamic acid and 5'-GMP. Moreover, PTCD improved rehydration capacity (515.
