dc.description.abstractMushrooms are universally valued for their dietary and therapeutic significance. Their importance could be attributed to numerous nutritive and dietary substances including polysaccharides, terpenoids, phenolics and other light molecular bioactive compounds. These compounds offer optimal health benefits and have been identified as a potential source of nutritional and medicinal products against several debilitating and food-related disorders. Here, we present an updated synopsis of the medicinal attributes of mushrooms, while also highlighting the technological advancements in their cultivation that have led to the birth of engineered species with improved traits that could alleviate malnourishment and contribute towards food security, offer health benefits, and provide efficient ways of waste management.
