Polysaccharides

Polysaccharides (complex sugars) are carbohydrate molecules made of long chains of smaller monosaccharides (simple sugars) joined by glycosidic bonds. In nature they serve roles such as storing energy and providing structure.

Functional mushrooms contain many polysaccharides, and one group in particular, the beta-D-glucans, is the most-studied. Because polysaccharides are water-soluble, they are typically drawn out using a hot-water extraction.
