1. The nutritional value of mushrooms
The nutritional value of mushrooms depends on the species, the stage of development of the fruit, and the quality of the soil. They are mostly composed of water (8592%) and are therefore low in calories, but nonetheless heavy in fat. In addition, they contain a large amount of carbohydrates (35, 254, 8%), a small amount of protein (25%) and fat (28%) in dry matter. Mushroom protein has a high biological value because it consists of all the essential amino acids.2. The nutritional value of the crop oven, fresh (100 g)

Fungi exhibit anti-health properties due to the presence in their composition of bioactive compounds such as lignin, polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and polyphenols. Polysaczarides and polyphenoids are natural antioxidants. They fight excess free radicals in the body, thus counteracting oxidative stress. They also have anti-cancer effects. Additionally, they reduce blood sugar levels.7. Natural antibiotic
Mushrooms contain antibacterial substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for skin problems, stimulate the immune system, and shiitake interferon in mushrooms has anti-viral effects.
