Description The present study evaluated the micronutrients, vitamins and minerals of five cultivated mushroomsof India viz., Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom), Calocybe indica (milky mushroom), Flammulinavelutipes (winter mushroom), Pleurotus florida (oyster mushroom) and Volvariella volvacea (paddystraw mushroom). The vitamins detected in 100g dry weight of cultivated mushrooms were VitaminA (2.44-3.94 mg), Vitamin B1 (0.003-0.018mg),Vitamin B2 (0.189-1.625), Vitamin B3 (42.62-98.16mg), Vitamin B5 (0.059-0.405 mg), Vitamin B6 (15.1 mg in A. bisporus),Vitamin B9 (0.121-0.214mg),Vitamin B12 (0.96-1.68 μg), Vitamin C (24.2-81.1mg), Vitamin D (0.339-0.747 mg), and VitaminE (24.8 mg in A. bisporus, 38.1 mg in V. volacea and 56.6 mg in P. florida). The mineral contentsfound in 100g dry weight were K (3.7-6.2 g), Mg (0.11-0.24 g), P (0.58-1.42 g), Ca (31.3-88.3 mg), Na(27.38-101.4 mg), Mn (0.55-1.49 mg), Fe (6.45-29.4 mg), Se (0.036 mg in V. volvacea and 0.426 mgin A. bisporus), Mo (0.012-0.062 mg), Zn (2.39-8.725 mg), Cu (0.7-7.17 mg) and Cr (0.02-0.159 mg).It is evident from the results that the cultivated mushrooms are valuable source of vitamins andminerals and they can contribute significantly to our fight against malnutrition.
