![]() ![]() Other studies revealed that the anticancer principles of some of these mushrooms are polysaccharides and proteins. Compounds 1–5 were reported to exhibit anticancer properties, which may contribute to the anticancer activities of these mushrooms. The most promising antiplatelet effect was exhibited by A. All are believed to be saprotrophic, most. Species within the family were formerly referred to the 'heterobasidiomycetes' or 'jelly fungi', since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. These studies yielded ergosterol (1) ergosterol peroxide (2) cerevisterol, dilinoleoyloleoylglycerol, and a mixture of linoleic acid (3) palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid from Pleurotus florida 1, triacylglycerols (4) and fatty acid methyl esters from Pleurotus djamor ġ and 4 from Flammulina velutipes 1 and trilinolein (5) from Pleurotus eryngii and Lentinula edodes 1, 3, 5 and brassicasterol from Agaricus bisporus 2 from Auricularia auricula-judae 2-4 and 3β-linoleyloxyergosta-7,22-diene from Coprinopsis lagopus and 2 and 4 from Phellinus gilvus (Schwein.) Pat. ergosterol, macro elements, and trace elements were also characterized. The Auriculariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. It has been shown the potential of AAPs to improve. auricula (AAPs) are typically fungal polysaccharides and have a wide range of biological activities. ![]() We previously reported the chemical constituents of the dichloromethane extracts of the fruiting bodies of these mushrooms, which were cultured at Central Luzon State University, bought from the Mushroom Burger and Metro Manila supermarkets, and collected from Mt. Auricularia auricula-judae is an edible fungus with high nutritional value due to abundant polysaccharides, and is acknowledged as traditional food and medicine in Asia. Similar species Auricularia mesenterica, commonly known as Tripe Fungus or Grey Brain Fungus, is the type species of the genus Auricularia its fruitbodies are smaller, greyish-brown and form bracket-like tiers on dead broad-leaf. This paper is a review on the chemical constituents and biological activities of the fruiting bodies of seven edible and two inedible mushrooms with reported anticancer properties found in the Philippines. Auricularia auricula-judae can be seen throughout the year, but it is most prevalent in late summer and autumn.
