Mushroom cultivation has been started in Côte d’Ivoire. Awareness of the nutritional and medicinal importance of mushrooms is not extensive. In this study, the nutritional values of dietary mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus, that are very popular among the cultivated mushrooms in Côte d’Ivoire have been determined. The samples were obtained and analysed for proximate, mineral, vitamin, amino acids and fatty on dry weight basis using standard methods. These mushrooms were rich in minerals content (Cu= 36.35% ; Iron= 52.65 % ; Magnesium= 47.84 % ; Sodium= 14.50%) and contained a lower amount of calcium (9.85%), phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. We also note the presence of vitamin A (0.19%), vitamin C (17.48%) and those of group B (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9). The amino acids contents ranged from 1.17% for alanine and lysine, 1.7 % for leucine and 0.07% to serine. The mushrooms are rich in lipid with the presence of linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. Data of this study suggest that mushrooms are rich in nutritional value.
