Brief   Introduction:

Mushroom   chitosan is a natural, plant-based biopolymer derived from the cell walls of   edible fungi such as oyster mushrooms and Agaricus bisporus. It   features biodegradability, biocompatibility, and functional properties like   antimicrobial, antioxidant, and fat-binding effects, making it highly valued   in dietary supplements, especially as a vegan and shellfish-free alternative   to traditional chitosan.
