In recent years, gut microbiota have been linked to prevention and treatment of human diseases. Mushrooms are a source of potentially useful prebiotics because they contain polysaccharides, terpenoids, and other bioactive compounds. In the present review, we have summarized the prebiotic effects of mushrooms on gut microbiota in the context of immunological, metabolic, neurological, and cancer-related diseases in the last five years. We propose that mushrooms can not only change the composition of gut microbiota, but also promote secretion of beneficial metabolites. In addition, we point to the effects of host mRNA expression in gut microbiota as a direction of further study. Overall, these provide a background for further studies on the mechanisms of regulation of gut microbiota by mushrooms.
