Effective components of morel mushrooms of different origins. Daozhen cap (D1), Daozhen stalk (D2), Shuicheng cap (S1) and Shuicheng stalk (S2). Total phenol content (A), total saponin content (B), total flavonoid content (C), total polysaccharide content (D), protein content (E). Lowercase letters in the graphs indicate the significance of differences between the caps and stalks of morel mushrooms of the same origin (p < 0.05).
