Bioactive compounds from mushrooms

Abstract

We have been studying various bioactive compounds produced by mushrooms. In this review, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress suppressors from Hericium erinaceus, Mycoleptodonoides aitchisoni, Termitomyces titanicus, Leccinum extremiorientale and Stropharia rugosoannulata, osteoclast-formation suppressors from Agrocybe chaxingu, and Grifola gargal, plant growth regulators from Lepista sordida and Agrocybe praecox, toxins from Boletus venenatus and Pleurocybella porrigens, and lectins from Hygrophorus russula and Pholiota squarrosa are discussed.
