“…In the last two decades, the health-promoting effect of mushrooms had gained more attention due to the large array of secondary metabolites present in the fruit bodies and submerged culture. The potential of wild mushrooms as a source of bioactive compounds has prevented the manifestation of some illness (Alves et al 2013). The medicinal importance of mushroom requires a continuous searching and exploiting wild macrofungi for antimicrobial, antioxidants, anticancer and anti-inflammatory.…”

The phytochemical property and inhibitory potential of petroleum ether and ethanol extracts of Lenzites quercina, Ganoderma lucidum and Rigidoporus ulmarius were assessed. Standard method was adopted to quantify the phytochemicals in the mushroom extracts. Poisoned food technique was used to assess the inhibition of the extracts obtained from the macrofungi against some pathogenic dermatophytes. The phenolic content of the studied mushroom extracts ranged from 15.7 to 83.8 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extract. Ethanolic extract of G. lucidum has the higher content of alkaloids (34.3 mg/g) and flavonoids (18.1 mg/g). Exactly 33.1 mg/g of terpenoids and 16.6 mg/g of saponins were also quantified in ethanolic extract of L. quercina. Extracts of L. quercina, G. lucidum and R. ulmarius exhibited wide range of mycelia inhibition at 50 mg/ml on the tested dermatophytes. The consistent inhibition displayed by the mushroom extracts against the dermatophytes affirms that these wild mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that are antifungal in nature and may possess the ability to cure dermatophyte infections.

M ushrooms play an important role in the carbonnitrogen cycle by breaking down organic substance in nature [1]. In addition to its existence for centuries, fungi have been used as nutritious food in daily meal and therapeutic agent in medicine because they are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals [2].Auricularia polytricha is a macrofungus that is a member of Basidiomycota class and belongs to Auriculariaceae family [3]. They grow in Asia, tropical America, and other regions of the world [4]. The spread of fungal spores of A. polytricha are present in high amount during late July [5]. Culturing of this fungus is not difficult but slow like some other fungi [6]. A. polytricha is edible mushroom.

Agrocybe aegerita (Brig.) Sing is known as a white rot fungus. Antioxidant, antimicrobial activity and antiqourum effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa of A. aegerita methanolic extract was investigated. The extract showed good antimicrobial activity. Effects of A. aegerita methanolic extract regulated virulence factors in quorum sensing (QS) test, as well as biofilm formation on P. aeruginosa and demonstrated reduction of pyocyanin production, twitching and swimming motility. Methanolic extract exhibited high antioxidant effect. The studied mushroom is a rich source of carbohydrates and proteins. Trehalose was the main free sugar while malic acid was the most abundant organic acid. α-, β-, γ-and δ-Tocopherols were also found, and oleic acid was the most prevalent fatty acid. A. aegerita can be a good source of nutritional and bioactive substances. This research is of great importance due to the prevalence of drug-resistant microorganisms and health-beneficial effects of antioxidants.
