        abstract = {The nutraceutical potential of mushrooms, emphasizing their rich bioactive components such as polysaccharides, proteins, peptides, phenolic compounds, terpenoids, and steroids. Mushrooms, particularly from the Lentinus species, offer significant health benefits including antioxidant, anti¬cancer, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating effects. The bioactive compounds contribute to various therapeutic applications, such as enhancing immunity, regulating cellular activities, and providing cardiovascular protection. Advances in mushroom biotechnology and green extraction methods are expanding their use in nutraceuticals and functional foods, positioning mushrooms as valuable assets in health and medicine. The molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are explored, emphasizing the role of bioactive compounds in apoptosis induction, immune regulation, and metabolic modulation. Furthermore, advancements in extraction technologies and mushroom biotechnology are examined, underscoring their importance in enhancing the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of mushroom-derived nutraceuticals. This review positions mushrooms as promising agents in the development of functional foods and novel therapeutic applications, contributing to the growing nutraceutical industry.},
