The Volvariella volvacea or commonly known as the straw mushroom is one of the
nutrient-rich mushrooms. V. volvacea mushroom collected from Sedayu, Yogyakarta,
Indonesia was analyzed for its protein, carbohydrate, and glycoprotein contents. The
proteins isolated from the cold water extract of V. volvacea were identified using liquid
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results showed that the cold water extract
of V. volvacea contained moderate amounts of proteins and carbohydrates, and was rich
in glycoproteins. A pore-forming cardiotoxic protein, Volvatoxin A2, was identified in
the V. volvacea; however, the involvement of this toxin as the causative agent in
poisoning from V. volvacea consumption remains to be elucidated.
