The screening of 39 culinary and wild mushrooms showed
remarkable results, especially the variability of the beta-glucan
contents in different species and the high levels of beta-glucans
in species such as Boletus edulis (Bull. ex Fr., stipe part) or Piptoporus
betulinus (Bull. ex Fr.) Karst. with more than 50 g/100 g dm.
These result are in good accordance and support the work of
McCleary and Draga (2016), who screened several mushroom species
with the Megazyme assay
