description <i>Nothofagus</i> forests of the Andean Patagonian region are home to numerous wild edible mushroom (WEM) species with interesting organoleptic characteristics, although many of them have unknown nutritional and nutraceutical profiles. The proximal composition, fatty and organic acids, soluble sugars, phenolic compounds, ergosterol, as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of 17 WEMs were analyzed. Carbohydrates, the most abundant macronutrients, varied between 49.00 g/100 g dw (<i>C. magellanicus</i>) and 89.70 g/100 g dw (<i>F. antarctica</i>). Significantly higher values were found for total fat in <i>G. gargal</i> (5.90 g/100 g dw) followed by <i>A. vitellinus</i> (4.70 g/100 g dw); for crude protein in <i>L. perlatum</i> (36.60 g/100 g dw) followed by <i>L. nuda</i> (30.30 g/100 g dw); and for energy in <i>G. gargal</i> (398 Kcal/100g) and <i>C. hariotii</i> (392 Kcal/100g). The most effective extracts regarding the TBARS antioxidant capacity were those of <i>Ramaria</i>. This is the first time that a study was carried out on the chemical composition of <i>G. sordulenta</i>, <i>C. xiphidipus</i>, <i>F. pumiliae</i>, and <i>L. perlatum</i>. The promotion of sustainable use of WEMs, including their incorporation in functional diets that choose WEMs as nutritious, safe, and healthy foods, and their use in an identity mycogastronomy linked to tourism development, requires the detailed and precise nutritional and nutraceutical information of each species.
