1. Introduction
Mushrooms have been a perennial component of the human
diet, consumed since antiquity not only as part of the normal diet
but also as a delicacy, because of their texture and highly desirable
taste and aroma. Wild edible mushrooms are consumed with sustainable
popularity in many countries of central and Eastern Europe.
In Greece, wild mushrooms comprise an important
ingredient for the traditional cuisine and gastronomy.
Research conducted during the last decades has indicated that
mushrooms exert a number of nutritional and nutraceutical properties
and they are source of beneficial bioactive compounds
(Ferreira et al., 2009; Yaltirak et al., 2009; Jayakumar et al.,
2009). Mushrooms are quite rich in protein, providing all the
essential amino acids, they have a low fat content, and they contain
relatively high amounts of carbohydrates and fiber (Kalacˇ, 2009).
They are considered as low-energy functional foods, which could
notably contribute to the design of healthy dietary patterns. Besides
