The present invention discloses an application of a pleurotus eryngii mycelium polysaccharide from solid-state fermentation (PESF). The active polysaccharide (PESF) with a hypolipidemic function is produced by a solid-state fermentation method of pleurotus eryngii mycelia. In a mouse model in vivo hypolipidemic mechanism, an oral administration of a certain dose of the PESF can regulate intestinalmicroflora, significantly promotes growth of Lactobacillus and inhibits major micro-organism genus of staphylococcus, corynebacterium, aerococcus, etc., thus restores intestinal flora imbalance caused by a high-fat diet to a certain degree, finally inhibits absorption of exogenous lipids in intestinal tract, and thus reduces accumulation of blood lipids and liver lipids in body. The pleurotus eryngii polysaccharide is analyzed and confirmed to have biofunctional activity of regulating structure and functions of the intestinal microflora, and a significant correlation is found between polysaccharide hypolipidemic activity and polysaccharide intestinal microflora-regulating function.
