I guess it is possible. See this paper below:

Yes it is applicable. You can extract the mushroom sample with different solvents and test the presence of different phytoconstituents.

Regards

Chia-Wei Phan

thank you all :) i will go ahead. one thing about these tests is it uses up up to mgs of extracts? Cause some wild mushrooms are hard to get...nevertheless i guess the weight of the extracts in different test can be scaled down propotionally? regards xx

Mostly u will find polysaccharides and triterpenoids in mushrooms in ample amounts.

thank you for the very helpful suggestions Dr Alok. I appreciate that. Any ideas on alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinones, glycosides, tannins, saponins, even steroids? triterpenoids are steroids right?
