Abstract

Objectives: The present study aims to identify and evaluate the chemical composition of young and matured sporocarps of Pleurotus giganteus. Methods: Wild edible mushroom, Pleurotus giganteus was collected during the monsoon season in 2021 from Reiek Tlang, Mizoram. The collected sample was cleaned, oven dried at 45◦C and finely powdered and stored in a tightly stoppered bottle for further analysis. Findings: The nutrient profiles revealed that the sample is generally rich in protein and carbohydrates with low-fat content and contained considerable amounts of minerals but lower toxic metal contents and can be used as a natural food source without any health risk which is vital in supplementing nutrition to mankind. Novelty: This study provides information regarding the nutritive quality of P. giganteus and can be used as a reference for food compositional data.
