Abstract
Wild mushrooms are a rich source of bioactive compounds. They have diverse pharmacological and nutraceutical importance that help to boost immunity against many life-threatening diseases. They have biological functions such as; antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective activities, etc. Besides, they are globally used as a functional food due to low calorie (low lipid) and rich in proteins and carbohydrates. Overall, they are abundant in vitamins, minerals, fibres, nutrients, and a mighty source of potential bioactive secondary metabolites. This review aims to focus on the therapeutic values of wild mushrooms, which are found worldwide, and the availability of such wild mushrooms in Chhattisgarh based on previous literatures, to account the status of study on mushrooms in this state. It is found that a little to no work has been done on the diversity and therapeutic potentials of wild mushrooms in Chhattisgarh. This review gives a solid basis to investigate their properties from this region to support the livelihood of humanity.
