Mushrooms have great nutritional value because of their high content of protein, essential amino acids, and fiber and low fat content. Analysis of two strains of H. ulmarius CO2 and IIHR Hul revealed that protein, carbohydrate and fibre contents were high. Lipid content in two strains of H. ulmarius ranges from 3.65 to 5.35% and fat content ranges from 3.55 to 4.80% respectively.
