Worldwide 1.5 million fungi are assessed, out of which around 14,000 species produce the fruiting bodies known as mushrooms and around 2000 species are edible and 270 are reported to be medicinal. The fungal kingdom is phylogenetically closer to man than plant kingdom. So, it is believed that fungi may give better health benefits to human systems. These mushrooms with nutraceutical and pharmacological properties may help in designing of health-enhancing myco-foods and myco-pharmaceuticals. The nutraceutical word is a juxtaposition of nutrition and pharmaceuticals and means any substance which may be considered a food or part of food and provides health-improving effects, prevents and cures some human disorders.
