Hydrophilic Metabolite Composition of Fruiting Bodies and Mycelia of Edible Mushroom Species (Agaricomycetes) Int. J. Med. Mushrooms (IF 1.2) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Rao-Chi Chien, Shin-Yu Chen, Darya O. Mishchuk, Carolyn M. Slupsky
Mushrooms have two components, the fruiting body, which encompasses the stalk and the cap, and the mycelium, which supports the fruiting body underground. The part of the mushroom most commonly consumed is the fruiting body. Given that it is more time consuming to harvest the fruiting body versus simply the mycelia, we were interested in understanding the difference in metabolite content between the
