“…Numerous studies (Binaco, 1981;Abate & Abraham, 1994;Pacumbaba et al, 1999;Hatvani, 2001;Bender et al, 2003;Kitzberger et al, 2007;Enman et al, 2008;Bisen et al, 2010;Reis et al, 2012, Giavis, 2014 have explored shiitake mushroom's pharmaceutical and antimicrobial potential and separated antibacterial compounds like pentathiadecane, cortinellin, desoxyhypnophilin, ergosterol, lentinan, lenthionine, oxalic acid, eritadenine, protocatechuic acid, and p-hydroxy benzoic acid. Although L. edodes has been well documented for its antimicrobial properties, there are few reports (Pacumbaba et al, 1999;Tolaini et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013;Kaur et al, 2016) on its potential biopesticidal applications.…”
