Global food production faces many challenges, including climate change, a water crisis, land degradation, and desertification. These challenges require research into non-traditional sources of human foods. Edible mushrooms are considered an important next-generation healthy source. rich in proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, other bioactive components (alkaloids, lactones, polysaccharides, polyphenolic compounds, sesquiterpenes, sterols, terpenoids). Several ingredients can be extracted from edible incorporated health-promoting supplements. It has been suggested that several diseases treated with extracts mushrooms, as these have biological effects anticancer, antidiabetic, antiviral, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, immune-potentiating, hypo-cholesterolemic influences. The current study focuses on sustainable approaches for handling their secondary metabolites, biofortification. Comparisons between poisonous well the common species different ingredients, crucial. Nutritional values health benefits biomedical applications, also emphasized. Further is needed to explore economic sustainability medicinal mushroom compound potential applications against emerging such COVID-19. New nano-biofortification supply essential nutrients and/or increase ingredients.

Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) P. Kumm mushroom contains bioactive compounds with both antimicrobial and prebiotic properties, which are distributed in the mycelium, fruiting body, spent substrate. The is rich nondigestible carbohydrates like chitin glucan, act as prebiotics support growth activity of beneficial gut bacteria, thereby maintaining a healthy balance microbiota reducing risk antibiotic resistance. mushrooms, including polysaccharides (glucans, chitin) secondary metabolites (phenolic compounds, terpenoids, lectins), exhibit antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal activities. When mushrooms consumed, these can help preventing spread harmful bacteria gut, infections development Nonetheless, further research necessary to determine efficacy against different pathogens fully comprehend its properties. Overall, consuming diet mushroom-based foods have positive impact on human digestion health. A microbiome reduce need for antibiotics.

Early and accurate tomato disease detection using easily available leaf photos is essential for farmers stakeholders as it help reduce yield loss due to possible epidemics. This paper aims visually identify nine different infectious diseases (bacterial spot, early blight, Septoria late mold, two-spotted spider mite, mosaic virus, target yellow curl virus) in leaves addition healthy leaves. We implemented EfficientNetB5 with a (TLD) dataset without any segmentation, the model achieved an average training accuracy of 99.84% ± 0.10%, validation 98.28% 0.20%, test 99.07% 0.38% over 10 cross folds.The use gradient-weighted class activation mapping (GradCAM) local interpretable model-agnostic explanations are proposed provide interpretability, which predictive performance, helpful building trust, required integration into agricultural practice.
