Both ecological systems and human gastronomy depend on basidiomycetous fungi, which include a broad range of macrofungi, such as puffballs, bracket fungi, and mushrooms. This study focuses on a few chosen basidiomycetous specimens that have good organoleptic qualities, including taste, scent, texture, and appearance. The specimens were identified by morphological and DNA analysis after being collected from different ecological zones. A group of professionals conducted a sensory analysis, focusing on characteristics that are critical to both culinary and commercial value. The findings demonstrated that species such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinula edodes, and Agaricus bisporus consistently obtained high scores on organoleptic evaluations, despite notable regional variations in preference. The findings open the door for a broader incorporation of less well-known but organoleptically rich basidiomycetes into food systems, with potential applications in sustainable agriculture, culinary innovation, and the creation of functional foods.

摘要

Both ecological systems and human gastronomy depend on basidiomycetous fungi, which include a broad range of macrofungi, such as puffballs, bracket fungi, and mushrooms. This study focuses on a few chosen basidiomycetous specimens that have good organoleptic qualities, including taste, scent, texture, and appearance. The specimens were identified by morphological and DNA analysis after being collected from different ecological zones. A group of professionals conducted a sensory analysis, focusing on characteristics that are critical to both culinary and commercial value. The findings demonstrated that species such as Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinula edodes, and Agaricus bisporus consistently obtained high scores on organoleptic evaluations, despite notable regional variations in preference. The findings open the door for a broader incorporation of less well-known but organoleptically rich basidiomycetes into food systems, with potential applications in sustainable agriculture, culinary innovation, and the creation of functional foods.
