ABSTRACT:
Edible mushrooms of the genus Calocybe are recognized for their nutritional value and bioactive compounds, yet comparative studies across species are scarce. This work assessed the nutritional composition and antioxidant potential of four Calocybe: C. gigantea, C. gambosa, C. indica 1, and C. indica 2, using mycelial extracts. Culture characterization confirmed basidiomycetous features, including clamp connections. Significant interspecific variation was observed in protein, carbohydrate, phenolic, flavonoid, ascorbic acid, and anthocyanin contents. C. indica 1 showed the highest protein (1.646 ± 0.22 mg/mL), phenolic (0.918 ± 0.012 mg/mL), ascorbic acid (0.209 ± 0.003 mg/mL), and anthocyanin (0.147 ± 0.006 μg/mL) levels, while C. gambosa contained the highest flavonoids (0.252 ± 0.104 mg/mL). Antioxidant activity, determined by DPPH and FRAP assays, was strongest in C. indica. These results demonstrate species-specific variation in nutritional and functional attributes and highlight C. indica 1 as a promising source of natural antioxidants for nutraceutical and functional food applications.
