Extending the knowledge on secondary metabolites and the effect of solvent of extraction in mushrooms, We investigated five mushrooms species; two cultivated edible (Agaricus bisporus (brown) and Agaricus bisporus (white); and three wild medicinal edible mushrooms Trametes versicolor, Ganoderma applanatum and Fomes fomentarius for total phenolic, total flavonoid and condensed tannins content. T...

Forest fungi provide recreational and economic services, as well ecosystem biodiversity. Wild mushroom yields are difficult to estimate; climatic conditions known trigger temporally localised yields, forest structure also affects productivity. In this work, we analyse the capacity of remotely sensed variables estimate wild biomass production in Mediterranean Pinus pinaster forests Soria (Spain)...
