Abstract

Today mankind confronts a heap of challenges for survival due to the advent of health-related issues, drug resistances, and imbalances in the ecosystems. In the era of technology, man has perpetually been endeavoring to search for diverse biotic components that can potentially be addressing the complicated life troubling issues. In this context, the fungi in general and mushrooms in particular have played an indispensable role in protecting and curing various health problems. Macrofungi or mushrooms are contemplated as biological and genetic resources with high nutritional, medicinal, and biotechnological potential. The interest in mushrooms has cultivated momentously in the last few decades, being promoted by the discovery of a repertoire of chemically disparate biologically active compounds having biopharmaceutical applications arbitrated through defined mechanisms (anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidative hepatoprotective, anti-viral, immunomodulating hypocholesterolemic, and anti-bacterial). The escalating knowledge about chemistry, biotechnology, and molecular biology of mushrooms as well as an improvement in screening methods has led to rapid surge in the application of mushrooms for medicinal purposes which in turn, have galvanized the development of several novel mycopharmaceuticals based on mushroom bioprospection. Taking into consideration the importance of mushrooms, this chapter aims to zero in on the nutritive value, functionalities of mushrooms, and potential applications in food industry.
