Polysaccharides separated from  Lentinula edodes  are well known for their medicinal properties. However, the precise molecular mechanisms of polysaccharide biosynthesis in  L. edodes  remain unclear. In this study, the fruiting bodies of  L. edodes  in four developmental stages with significant differences in polysaccharide yield were collected, and the characteristics of polysaccharides were studied.  De novo  sequencing and comparative transcriptomic analysis were performed by using high-throughput Illumina RNA-sequencing. KS1P30, KS2P30, KS3P30, and KS4P30 were obtained from the four developmental stages, respectively, by hot water extraction and 30% ethanol precipitation. These four polysaccharides had good immune activity  in vitro ; all of them were β-glucopyranose with a high molecular weight. Glucose was the main monosaccharide component of these polysaccharides. High-quality clean reads (57.88, 53.17, 53.28, and 47.56 million for different growth stages) and mapping ratios ranging from 84.75 to 90.11% were obtained. In total, 11,493 (96.56%) unigenes and 18,924 (97.46%) transcripts were successfully annotated in five public databases. The biosynthetic pathway and related genes of LEFP30 were mined. The molecular mechanism of LEFP30 yield change in the different developmental stages was predicted. The results provide some insights into the possible mechanisms involved in the biosynthetic pathway of this kind of polysaccharide in  L. edodes  fruiting bodies. They also indicate that candidate genes can be used as important resources for biotechnology and molecular breeding to regulate  L. edodes  fruiting body polysaccharide biosynthesis.
