Therapeutic applications, nutritional composition, and their future perspectives of wild mushrooms

Considering the current situation, relatively little research has been conducted on wild mushrooms to date. Many species of wild mushrooms are found in nature. Discovering new species of these hidden mushrooms, properly identifying them, exploring new compounds hidden in them, and writing new literature would be novel research in the future. In this way, the properties and diversity of wild mushrooms can be further explored. Wild mushrooms can be a valuable new source of pharmacologically active substances, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals, which could be exploited for diverse medical applications in the future, particularly those requiring accurate pharmacogenetic fingerprints. The purpose of the present review study is to compile the information on wild mushrooms discovered by our scientists and researchers from different places and to discuss their medicinal and nutraceutical properties. So accurate data and guidance can be obtained in future research work.
