White button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were shown to be antioxidant-rich, thanks to high levels of polyphenols and flavonoids. Using a special ultrasound-assisted method, researchers extracted compounds that showed strong free radical-scavenging ability and reducing power, key indicators of antioxidant strength.
