Mushrooms have progressively transitioned from a rich man's diet to a popular universally accepted nutrient-rich food. Packed with multiple elixirs for health and human welfare, mushrooms have gained paramount importance. Mushroom polysaccharides have now become recognized as the icons of mushroom bioactivity. This being the case, detection, identification, characterization, structural elucidation of these polysaccharides becomes ideally unequivocal. This review briefly highlights the biological importance of mushroom polysaccharides. The analytical techniques currently applied for analysis of mushroom polysaccharides have been consolidated and summarized. The current scenario while using MALDI TOF MS for polysaccharide analysis and further its application for mushroom polysaccharide analysis has been comprehensively gathered and presented for the first time. This pioneering work, based on the accumulated information, addresses the gaps in this application area, points out to the challenges and limitations and proposes future recommendations for widening the prospects for fully utilizing this analytical tool (MALDI-TOF MS).
