description Mushrooms have evolved as a nutritional powerhouse, harnessing a diverse spectrum of bioactive molecules to fortify human health. Hypsizygus ulmarius represents a pioneering species within the oyster mushrooms distinguished by its unique characteristics and potential abilities. It is characterized by its large fruiting bodies, which have a meaty flavor and excellent taste. Additionally, this mushroom has a high yield and biological efficiency. This mushroom also holds significant importance globally and is cultivated in China, Japan and other Asian nations due to its favorable growth conditions, exceptional nutritional value, and medicinal attributes. This review focuses on the nutrition and bioactive molecules present in this mushroom species and their further implications in medicine, agriculture, biotechnology for the development of new anti-bacterial agents and their potential industrial uses for human health. This review aims to provide more recent information on the above aspects. Hypsizygus ulmarius shows great potential as a valuable source of several nutrients and bioactive chemicals that may have therapeutic qualities. The immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer properties of this mushroom provide opportunities for further future research in the creation of beneficial functional foods, dietary supplements and pharmaceutical interventions to enhance human health.
