“…Antiallergic activity has been demonstrated by G. lucidum extracts, as well as some compounds isolated from this species, such as ganoderic acids, oleic acid, and cyclooctasulfur acid belonging to triterpenes [80]. A study showed that ganoderic acids C and D isolated from G. lucidum inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells [81].…”

This paper presents the current state of knowledge on the biological activity and possible medicinal applications of selected species of the genus Ganoderma: Ganoderma adspersum (Schulzer) Donk, Ganoderma applanatum (Pers.) Pat., Ganoderma carnosum Pat., Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst., Ganoderma pfeifferi Bres., Ganoderma resinaceum Boud. These inedible, wood-decaying fungi are pathogens that cause the enzymatic decomposition of wood. They are a valued natural medicinal resource and have been used in traditional Far Eastern medicine for centuries. Research conducted on these species using modern analytical methods has led to advances in knowledge of the potential therapeutic use of compounds isolated not only from basidiocarps but also from biomass obtained by in vitro methods. Recent pharmacological studies have confirmed the known traditional uses of these species, elucidated previously unknown mechanisms of biological action, and found evidence of new biological activities, such as anticancer, cytotoxic, antiallergic, and neuroprotective activities. Furthermore, the article updated the state of knowledge on the general mycological characteristics of these species.

“…They produce secondary metabolites which have many different biological effects [10]. In previous studies, it has been reported that different mushroom species have many effects such as antioxidant, anti-lipidemic, antihypertensive, DNA preservative, analgesic, antimicrobial, anticancer, immunosuppressive, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antagonistic activity [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. There are lots of study about edible and toxic mushrooms and their anti-oxidative and anti-lipidemic effects.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant capacity, total oxidant capacity, oxidative stress index and antimicrobial activity of a poisonous mushroom Agaricus xanthodermus. The effects of mushrooms on atherosclerosis are due to their antioxidant effects. Methods: Mushroom samples collected from study field were extracted with methanol (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) using soxhlet apparatus. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured using Rel Assay trade kits. Antimicrobial activities were tested on 9 microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, S. aureus MRSA, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida albicans, C.krusei and C. glabrata) using the modified agar dilution method. Results: In this study A. xanthodermus has shown high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In addition, the highest activities of MeOH and DCM extracts of the mushrooms were demonstrated against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii. Conclusions: In conclusion, A. xanthodermus is considered to be a poisonous mushroom and can be used as a pharmacological natural agent due to its high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
