Wild medicinal mushrooms, mostly woody mushrooms comprised Lenzites betulina, Lentinus polychrous, Trametes versicolor, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Pycnoporus sp, Inonotus radiatus and Microporus xanthopus were analyzed for antioxidant properties. Of the seven wild mushrooms, Inonotus radiatus had highest content of flavonoid content (13.50±1.33mg/gm), FRAP (1.47±0.09 mg AEAC/gm) and total phenolics content (3.5±0.052mg/gm). Pycnoporus and P. cinnabarinus showed considerably good amount of carotenoids. M. xanthopus showed higher amount of ascorbic acid (5.70±0.01 mg/gm) than other species studied. Results in this study revealed that the composition of all the woody mushrooms are below the phytotoxicity level and ongoing research in this regard can lead for the formulation of drugs in the future. |
