Mushrooms are a rich source of ergothioneine, glutathione, vitamins, and minerals including selenium and copper.
UV exposure induces oxidative signaling in phenolics and antioxidants in mushrooms through stress-mediated mechanisms.
UV irradiation enhances the nutritional quality of edible mushrooms through photochemical conversion of ergosterol to vitamin D2.
Moderate UV exposure enhances vitamin D2 in mushrooms, whereas excessive exposure leads to nutrient degradation or plateau effects.
UV irradiation causes matrix-level alterations in polysaccharides and cell-wall structures of mushrooms.
