Abstract
Pleurotus citrinopileatus, also known as golden oyster mushroom, is a newly industrialized edible mushroom mainly distributed in East Asia. It is a kind of saprophytic edible fungus with strong degradation characteristics, commonly found on fallen trees and stumps of broad-leaf tree species. So far, abundant kinds of bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, ergothioneine, sesquiterpenes, and glycoprotein have been isolated from P. citrinopileatus and studied. Studies have confirmed that these compounds are beneficial to human health. In this paper, the recent studies on the cultivation, degradation characteristics application, and health effects of P. citrinopileatus are reviewed, and their development trends are discussed.
