Additionally, the compounds ergosterol, saccharopine, and hexitol were identi- fied in A. subrufescens by HPLC-MS/MS. The antioxidant compound p-coumaric acid and dihexoses was found in both mushroom species. A. subrufescens presented higher total phenolic content (73.8 Æ 0.6 mg GAE 100 g−1) and antioxidant activity than P. ostreatus (16.6 Æ 0.5 mg GAE 100 g−1). The handmade supplement based on the waste of noble grains presented statistically similar phenolic content to the mushrooms cultivated with commercial ones Spawn Mate II SE (86.1 Æ 1.4 and 92.9 Æ 0.3 mg GAE 100 g−1, respectively). Therefore, the results support the use of handmade supplements based on agro- wastes as a viable alternative to the use of high-cost commercial ones.
