Abstract
When fruit bodies of Coprinellus congregatus were matured, they were autolysed to form black ink. During the developmental changes, cell walls of basidia were degraded. Laccase formed melanin which was the typical black pigment of fungi, and chitinase hydrolyzed the chitin which was a component of fungal cell wall. When laccase and chitinase genes were used as the probe for the Northern analysis to confirm their expression during the fruit body development, both gene expressions were increased as the mushroom was getting matured.
