Mushroom is well known for a safe food for a long time and, what is more, has a lot of useful characteristics related on the pharmacological activities. It is expected to be one of the most important functional food due to its diverse bioactive compounds. Especially, medical potentiality on immunomodulator and antitumor continues to be focused. Recent research trend and commercialization of functional healthy food using mushroom and its bioactive compounds will be herein introduced. Industrialization of mushroom functional substances will be also discussed.
