Summary, etc. <span>The antioxidant potential and quantitative phenolic from the methanolic extract of </span><em>Pleurotus sajor-caju</em><strong><span lang="&quot;EN-US&quot;"> </span></strong><span lang="&quot;EN-US&quot;">(Fr.) Singer, <em>P. ostreatus</em> (Jacq. ex Fr.) P. Kumm. and <em>P. sapidus</em> (Schulzer &amp; Kalchbr.) Sacc. at mature fruiting stage and mycelium stage were investigated. Fruiting bodies of <em>Pleurotus</em> species exhibited the most potent free radical scavenging activity (<em>P. sajor-caju</em> 88.9 % at 10 mg/mL) and reducing power (1.98 at 10 mg/mL) while mycelia exhibiting higher chelating activity at 10 mg/mL (<em>P. sapidus</em> 99 %). Gallic acid, BHT and Catechin used as a standard were highly effective in inhibiting hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, showing IC<sub>50 </sub>values below 1 mg/mL. <em>Pleurotus sajor-caju </em>exhibited maximum antioxidant potential as compared to other two mushrooms. Analysis of total phenols and flavonoids in <em>Pleurotus </em>species has been carried out <em>in vitro. Pleurotus sajor-caju </em>fruiting contains highest phenol content (1.53 mg/g) and flavonoids (1.88 mg/g). These results suggest that these mushrooms may be used as a potential source of natural antioxidants for food supplements as well as in the development of nutraceuticals.</span>
