This study presents a comparative assessment of chitin, chitin–glucan complexes (CGC), and chitosan derived from basidiomycete biomass. The relationship between processing depth, product yield, functional properties, and environmental impact is analyzed. The results demonstrate that CGC provide the optimal balance between extraction efficiency and functionality, making them the most resource-efficient target product for large-scale applications.
