Studies on the Constituents of the Higher Fungi of Korea

한국의 고등균류의 성분 연구

In order to detect poisonous or physiologically active constituents in the Higher Fungi growing in Korea, forty three species including two varieties were collected in Kyung Ki and Chung Cheong Buk Do Provinces and subjected to systematic extraction with two kinds of organic solvents. The extracts were examined for alkaloid by adding alkaloid reagents. Of these fungi, three species, Geaster fimbriatus, Lampteromyces japonicus and Pseudocolus schellenbergiae, gave positive confirmatory tests.
