Abstract

Mushrooms 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.

期刊介绍： Transactions of the Royal Society of South Africa , published on behalf of the Royal Society of South Africa since 1908, comprises a rich archive of original scientific research in and beyond South Africa. Since 1878, when it was founded as Transactions of the South African Philosophical Society, the Journal’s strength has lain in its multi- and inter-disciplinary orientation, which is aimed at ‘promoting the improvement and diffusion of science in all its branches’ (original Charter). Today this includes natural, physical, medical, environmental and earth sciences as well as any other topic that may be of interest or importance to the people of Africa. Transactions publishes original research papers, review articles, special issues, feature articles, festschriften and book reviews. While coverage emphasizes southern Africa, submissions concerning the rest of the continent are encouraged.
