The research, potential of mushrooms as food alternatives to obtain information about mushrooms species which potentially as food and their nutritional content found in the forest park of pocut meurah intan, Aceh Besar. The research used an exploratory survey method by exploring a lot of mushrooms on each track in the region for collecting mushrooms sample and several physical factors. The nutritional analysis was carried out using Kjeldahl for protein, Luff Schoorl for carbohydrate, soxhlet for fat and gravimetric for fiber, ash and moisture content. Fifteen species of mushrooms were identied as alternative food, but only ve species had been examined for nutrition analysis tests, including Lentinus polychrous, Lentinus sajor-caju, Ischnoderma resinosum, Marasmiellus ramealis, and Thelephora ganbanjun. L. polychrous was contained the highest rate of proteins (6.12%), carbohydrates (10.27%), bers (4.73%) and fat (1.26%). M. ramealis contained the highest moisture content (89.01). The highest ash content (1.63%) was in T. ganbanjun. These ve species of mushrooms were potentially alternative food because they contained a good level of nutritional content and can be used as a cultivation commodity that can improve the economic level of society. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
