Abstract:As the rainy season approaches one of the many changes that occur in Ranchi District is the popping up of wild mushrooms. These mushrooms are widely distributed in this district and it is an important source of nutrient, health, and income generation. A total of 7 most commonly consumed wild edible mushrooms were analyzed using the cuprous assay. The data from the cuprous assay showed that all studied wild edible mushrooms possess antioxidant activities. Among all the edible species, the dried ethanolic extracts of Termitomyces heimii Natrajan 1979 showed highest antioxidant content (120.6 mg/ml) followed by Astraeus asiaticusWatling (115.3mg/ml), Pleurotus ostreatus P. Kumm (90 mg/ml), Termitomyces clypeatus R, Heim (87.6 mg/ml), Boletus edulis Fr.(78.8 mg/ml), Termitomyces microcarpus Berk & Broome 1871 (76.6 mg/ml) and Volvariella volvacea Speg.1898 (70 mg/ml). So, wild edible mushrooms may have prospective as natural antioxidants.
