Abstract Polysaccharides, natural polymers of monosaccharides, exhibit diverse biological activities due to their molecular structures and functional properties. Morchella esculenta , a precious edible mushroom with higher market value, is also rich in polysaccharides (MEP) holds potential as bioactive compound therapeutic food applications. This short review examines structural characteristics advanced extraction methods. MEP demonstrate potent antioxidative effects by modulating the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway, antidiabetic properties through α‐amylase α‐glucosidase inhibition, hypolipidemic via improved lipid metabolism reduced adipogenesis. Their immunomodulatory activity linked short‐chain fatty acid production, cytokine regulation, G protein‐coupled receptor activation, while hepatoprotective involve mitigating oxidative stress inflammation. Further, schematic representation has been prepared illustrate mechanisms underlying MEP. Despite extensive research, gaps remain understanding neuroprotective anticancer potentials. underscores versatility MEPs calls for further exploration optimize applications foods health interventions.
