Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the main problems in the study of wild growing medicinal mushroom species by presenting the research from the period 2005–2020, with special emphasis on autochthonous species of Serbia and the Balkan region. Four major problems have been discussed regarding identification of the species, their biodiversity, chemical characterization, and environmental contamination, since they represent a great source of bioactive compounds with various activities: antioxidative, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-AChE inhibition.
The aim of this chapter is to introduce the main problems in the study of wild growing medicinal mushroom species by presenting the research from the period 2005–2020, with special emphasis on autochthonous species of Serbia and the Balkan region.
Four major problems have been discussed regarding identification of the species, their biodiversity, chemical characterization, and environmental contamination, since they represent a great source of bioactive compounds with various activities: antioxidative, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anti-AChE inhibition. A proper taxonomic identification is the first step in the further research. The identification is difficult due to similarity of morphological characteristics, especially within species complexes such as Pleurotus and Ganoderma . Molecular identification through multi-gene phylogenetic analysis helped to resolve some of these issues while full genome sequencing enabled annotation of genes, as it was done with Schizophyllum commune and Hericium erinaceus .
Chemical characterization of the secondary bioactive compounds mostly confirmed the existence of terpenoids, phenols, and sterols, while polysaccharides and immunomodulatory proteins including polysaccharide-peptide complexes have been identified recently. Although wild fungal strains represent powerful sources of medicinal substances, they can also pose a potential risk to human health through (hyper) accumulation of toxic elements (e.g. Hg, Pb, Cd, Ni, 238U, and 137Cs) from different substrates, not only in the polluted urban environments, but also in protected natural areas. Their use should be well reasoned and controlled along with their conservation and protection.
