Abstract

With the in-depth study of intestinal flora, it is found that the changes of its structure and function are closely related to the occurrence of diseases.Edible fungi are natural resources, and polysaccharides are the main active components. The research found that most of the mushroom polysaccharides want to be used by the human body, they need to be fermented by the intestinal flora first. In this paper, we summarize the research on the improvement of host capacity of mushroom polysaccharides in recent years, so that we can have a deeper understanding of the interaction between mushroom polysaccharides and intestinal flora.
