Highlights
Edible mushrooms have many beneficial components which make them healthy food for human and their use as medicine for more than 5000 years.[1-3]
The results revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, saponin, steroids, coumarins, terpenoids, vitamin C, cardiac glycosides, and anthocyanin in the selected mushrooms extracts (Table 1)
It was observed that the antioxidant activities of Ganoderma lucidum (GL), Pleurotus ostreatus (PO), GL+PO, and Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were recorded as 48.31 - 96.71%, 48.12 - 96.23%, 53.23 - 98.65%, and 53.12 - 95.74%, respectively at a concentration of 31.25 - 500 μg/mL
