ABSTRACT
Edible mushrooms are being recognized for their mycochemical values which enormously contibute to the
different bioactivities. This work highlighted the mycochemical compositions of the mycelia and fruiting
body of P. cyanescens and its antioxidant property as influenced by culture media and pH levels.
Mycochemical screening revealed that saponins, alkaloids and tannins were detected in both mycelia and
fruiting body while flavonoid was only found present in the fruiting body. Mycelia had higher amounts of
crude fiber (7.99 ± 0.01%), carbohydrates (59.45 ± 0.01%), moisture (12.40 ± 0.14%), and crude fat (2.91
± 0.06%) while fruiting body had higher amounts of ash (5.61 ± 0.01%), crude protein (17.89 ± 0.00%)
and energetic value (321.04 ± 0.03 kcal). Coconut water medium at pH 5 significantly recorded the highest
mycelia weight (5.5 ± 0.15 g), percentage radical scavenging activity (14.84 ± 0.19%) and total phenolics
(25.25 ± 0.01 mg AAE/g sample). Hence, P. cyanescens is another promising source of nutraceuticals.
Key words: Panaeolus cyanescens, submerged culture, antioxidant, mycochemicals, coprophilous.
