Abstract:
Armillaria mellea is a kind of medicinal and edible fungus belonging to Tricholomataceae family. It possesses comprehensive biological activities, such as hypnotic, sedative, improving cardiocerebral blood circulation, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, and immune regulation. Besides, it can inhibit tumor. A. mellea contains characteristic chemical constituents, such as, protoilludane sesquiterpenoid aromatic esters, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, polysaccharides, adenosine, and various types of secondary metabolites. This paper summarizes the chemical composition and biological activity of A. mellea to provide the reference for developing and utilizing it.
