Abstract: Laetiporus sulphureus, a member of the fungal class Aphyllophorales (Polypores) of the Basidiomycota, is widely distributed in tropical countries. In this article, chemical composition and nutritional quality of the Thai L. suphureus mushroom were investigated. Protein, fat, crude fibre and carbohydrate concentrations were 6.91, 1.70, 6.43 and 71.74% dry weight, respectively. Mineral contents were determined as mg/kg dry weight for Fe (2.28), Zn (1.20), Mn (0.35), Cu (0.14), Na (11.01), Ca (2.59) and Mg (1.09). |
