Abstract

Mushroom specimens were collected during August 2024 from Mantha tahsil of Jalna district of Maharashtra. Based on taxonomic characterization, the specimens were identified as Calocybe indica Purkay & A. Chandra and Volvariella volvocea (Bull.) Singer. For analysis of their biochemical analysis, methanolic extract were prepared and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
analysis showed the presence of biotic compounds such as Dimethyl sulfide, Dodecane, Tetradecane, Diethyl Phthalate, Tetradecanal, 2-Pentadecanone, Pentadecanal, 1-Nonadecene, 2-Nonadecanone, Methyl 13-methyltetradecanoate, 7-Hexadecenal, (Z)-Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid, 15-methyl-, methyl ester, 9-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, (E)- 2(3H)-Furanone, 5-dodecyldihydro-, Hexadecanoic acid, pentyl ester, etc in both mushrooms. The identified compounds reportedly show diverse bioactivities such as insecticide, antiviral, anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular hypocholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory and antiandrogenic. The presented results may provide baseline information about bioactive constituents of above-mentioned mushrooms in providing valuable compounds for medicinal and agricultural importance.
