White mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) showed different compounds in caps and stems when analyzed. Caps contained 27 unique chemicals, while stems held 26, including flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and phenols. These bioactive compounds support both nutritional and medicinal uses, suggesting that separating mushroom parts could optimize their value in food and health products.
