Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The current research was carried out in the laboratories of the General Commission for Biotechnology in 2022-2023 with the aim of studying the nutritional value of three species of medicinal mushrooms, namely Shiitake (Lentinula edodes <\/em>Berk.), Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum<\/em> Curtis.) and Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus <\/em>Bull.) in terms of the chemical composition included moisture, proteins, ash, dietary fibers, carbohydrates and fats; and fatty acid profiles, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids; and metals (sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphor, magnesium, iron and zinc) as a percentage of the dry weight. The current research results revealed that the investigated mushrooms contained a high percent of proteins ranged between 15.75 and 20.81%, and carbohydrates ranged between 46.94 and 50.96% in Reishi and Shiitake fungi, respectively. Moreover, the powder of investigated medical fungi contained a high percent of potassium, phosphor and iron; where potassium ranged between 500 and 1850 mg\/100 g in Reishi and Lion\u2019s mane, respectively, and phosphor ranged between 200.17 and 460.15 mg\/100 g in Shiitake and Reishi, respectively. Shiitake and Reishi contained a high percent of unsaturated fatty acids ranged between 83.83 and 82.95%, respectively. The results revealed that the main fatty acids in Shiitake were linoleic acid (78.29%), palmitic acid (13.54%) and oleic acid (4.41%); while the main fatty acids in Reishi were oleic acid (52.51%), linoleic acid (29.92%) and palmitic acid (13.27%). Lion\u2019s mane characterized with a high percent of saturated fatty acids (70.13%) and the main fatty acids were palmitic (33.61%), oleic acid (21.88%) and stearic acid (12.62%).<\/span><\/p>\n
