ABSTRACT
Mushrooms, classified as fleshy, spore-bearing fungi, thrive in diverse environments and play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and organic matter decomposition. Although often regarded as vegetables, they are biologically distinct from plants and can be both edible and toxic. Noting their use in ancient cultures and their growing recognition in contemporary research for their bioactive compounds that exhibit anticancer and immunomodulatory properties. The collection and extraction of mushroom samples from various locations in Davangere, followed by a systematic approach to phytochemical analysis. The extraction process involved using ethyl acetate to isolate bioactive compounds from the mushroom powder. Various qualitative tests were conducted to identify the presence of key phytochemicals such as alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, and flavonoids, a rich profile of bioactive constituents with potential health benefits.
Keywords: Phytochemical Analysis, Bioactive Compounds, Nutraceuticals, Ecological Role, Immunomodulatory properties.
