abstract = {Mushrooms are non-photosynthetic organisms produced as distinctive spore bearing fruiting bodies of filamentous macro-fungi. More than 14,000 mushroom species have been recognized, of which around 2,200 are edible. Scientists have extensively studied the extracts of different mushroom fruit bodies over the past few decades to identify the biologically active medicinal and nutraceutical components having different health benefits. Mushroom is also considered a functional food owing to the presence of low-fat and high-fiber contents useful in maintaining metabolic health. An expansive patent search since 2019 was conducted to review the information on mushrooms and their bioactive constituents using multiple patent databases. This review aims to highlight the pharmacological effects and potential therapeutic implications of mushroom bioactive substances as published in patent literature. Such information would assist researchers to explore the detailed processes and interactions involved by which the mushroom chemical components exert different medicinal properties, thereby increasing their credibility in clinical applications.},
