The content and composition of soluble dietary fiber in edible fungi variy greatly according to varieties, growth stages and different parts. This review focuses on the extraction methods of soluble dietary fiber from edible fungi, such as Lentinula edodes, Agrocybe cylindracea. The possible health benefits of mushroom soluble dietary fiber in relationship with hypoglycemic effect, regulatory mechanism of pancreatic lipase, gut microbiota and macrophages are also discussed. Finally, the application and development potential of mushroom soluble dietary fiber are pointed out.
