abstract
ln the last years nineteen different mushrooms species from Northeast
Portugal, one of the European regions with higher , wild mushrooms
diversity, were evaluated, by our team, for their antioxidant properties,
in order to valorise them as a source of nutraceuticals [I]. Nevertheless,
assuming that the proportion of used mushrooms among the undiscovered
and unexamined ones is only 5%, there are thousands of
species with possible benefit for mankind. Therefore, we intend to go
on in the study of this matrix, documenting their nutraceutical potential
and retaining the information for a better management and conservation of this natural resource and related habitats.
