The chemical composition of Sarcodon imbricatus (L.:Fr) Karsten (Hydnaceae) was evaluated to assess it as source of nutrients and nutraceuticals. The analyzed mushroom contains ergosterol and ergosterol peroxide. S. imbricatus methanolic extract showed a moderate antiradical activity (measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity). The combination of bioactive compounds and rich nutritional composition (high contents in protein, low content in fat, and its content of unsaturated fatty acids) makes the mushroom a good food.

Abstract
The chemical composition of Sarcodon imbricatus (L.:Fr) Karsten (Hydnaceae) was evaluated to assess it as source of nutrients and nutraceuticals. The analyzed mushroom contains ergosterol and ergosterol peroxide. S. imbricatus methanolic extract showed a moderate antiradical activity (measured by DPPH radical scavenging activity). The combination of bioactive compounds and rich nutritional composition (high contents in protein, low content in fat, and its content of unsaturated fatty acids) makes the mushroom a good food.
