For example, stipe-cuts and rests from Lentinula edodes have high beta-glucan contents (25.31 g/100 g dm). Among the wild
grown mushrooms, Boletus edulis (which is also known as a common culinary mushroom) shows extreme differences in betaglucan contents in its stipes (57.9 g/100 g dm) and caps (16.89 g/100 g dm). This species is also well cultivated,
and cut-offs from stipe parts could be used as a good source of beta-glucans.
