The present investigation focuses on taxonomic identification based on morphological and molecular data, along with the biochemical, physical, and antioxidant activity of Psathyrella spadicea. The methanolic extract of this edible mushroom was analyzed for in vitro antioxidant activity in terms of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (EC50= 1. 31 mg/ml) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) (7.188 TE/mg) radical scavenging activity and total antioxidant capacity (15μg AAE/mg). Fluorescence analysis exhibited significant variation against treated reagents. Furthermore, High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profile of the mushroom extract indicated the presence of 15 phenolic compounds in this species. Hence, the studied wild macrofungus holds an elite position as food supplement in the nutrient deficient populations of the remote areas of Ladakh.
