TL;DR: The effect of various carbon and nitrogen sources on laccase, manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), and peroxideidase production by two strains of Pleurotus ostreatus was investigated in this paper.

TL;DR: This minireview summarizes the perspectives, recent advances, and major challenges of medicinal mushrooms with reference to their nutraceutical properties and dietary value, the production of mushroom biomass on various substrates, and the purification, characterization, and pharmaceutical effects of biologically active compounds from medicinal mushrooms.

TL;DR: High-quality, long-term, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies of MMs, including well-sized population studies are definitely needed in order to yield statistical power showing their efficacy and safety, and clinical trials must obtain sufficient data on the efficacy andsafety of MM-derived drugs and preparations.

TL;DR: The nutritional values of the mushroom species studied here could potentially be used in well-balanced diets and as sources of bioactive compounds.
