Determination of bioactive properties of different edible mushrooms from Turkey

In this study, dry matter, total ash, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacities, antimicrobial activity, and phenolic acid contents of nine different mushrooms ( Lactarius deliciosus , Agaricus bisporus , Lentinus edodes , Pleurotus ostreatus , Ganoderma lucidum , Hericium erinaceus , Morchella spp., Boletus edulis , Cantharellus cibarius ) from Turkey were determined. Water (W), methanol (M), and water–methanol mixture (W/M, 50:50 v/v) were used to extract phenolic substances from dried mushroom samples. Generally, W extracts showed higher values in total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity values. W extracts of B. edulis (17.11 mg/g), Morchella spp. (14.19 mg/g). Moreover, P. ostreatus (10.85 mg/g) had the highest phenolic contents (p
