The objectives of this study were to evaluate applicability of food waste compost (FWC) as a substrate for cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinula edodes, and Pholiota adipose, and to determine contents of Ca, Mg, Na, and K in fruiting bodies (FB). FB yield per substrate in FWC-free controls was $53{\pm}4g/kg$ for G. lucidum, $270{\pm}90g/kg$ for L. edodes, and $1,430{\pm}355g/kg$ for P. adipose. Substrates supplemented with FWC showed the highest FB production at FWC content of 10% for G. lucidum ($64{\pm}6g/kg$), and 13% for L. edodes ($665{\pm}110g/kg$) and P. adipose ($2,345{\pm}395g/kg$), which were 1.2~2.5 times higher than the values for the controls. P. adipose contained higher amounts of mineral elements than the other species. Ca, Mg, Na, and K content in FB did not show a significant relation to FWC content.

Twenty species of higher fungi growing in the wild were collected and studied extensively for their lectin activities by using erythrocytes of human, rabbit and mouse blood. In total, 14 species demonstrated hemagglutination with some kinds of erythrocytes. Of twenty species, eight (Boletus edulis, B. splendidus, Clavaria zollingeri, Lactaritis subzonarius, L. volemus, Russula cutefracta, Pholiota squarrosa, and P. aspera) were shown lymphoagglutination with murine splenic lymphocytes. Protein contents were estimated from the crude lectin fraction. Above mentioned eight species contained relatively high amounts of proteins than other mushrooms. Since these species had coincidently, hiig emagglutinating activity as well, we could define them as lectin-containeing mushrooms. Some species also contained mitogenic lectins toward murine splenic lymphocytes.

This study was carried out to obtain new cancer metastasis inhibitor from mushrooms. Extracts from 52 isolates belong to 7 species of mushrooms were prepared by water, ethanol and methanol extractions and its anti-angiogenic activity were investigated by choriollantoic membrane(CAM) assay. Water extracts of Fomitella fraxinea ASI 17003 and ASI 17009 fruiting bodies, ethanol extract of Pholiota sp. ASI 24008 and Grifola frondosa ASI 9017 fruiting bodies and methanol extract of Inonotus obliquus ASI 74012 mycelia had the potential anti-angiogenic activity of 62.5%~68.8%. Finally, Pholiota sp. ASI 24008 was selected as a producer of cancer metastasis inhibitor on the basis of their solid yield and anti-angiogenic activity, etc.

This study evaluated macrofungal specimens collected from the Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Chungnam provinces of Korea in 2015~2016. All specimens were identified at the species level using a combination of morphological characteristics and rDNA sequence data. Among them, eight macrofungal species, Coprinopsis romagnesiana, Daldinia loculata, Gymnopus biformis, Gymnopus montagnei, Gymnopus sepiiconicus, Hebeloma danicum, Pholiota limonella, and Russula brevipes, are new records for macromycota in Korea.

In order to find out nutritional effects of Korean edible mushrooms on the multiplication of tissue cells, the alcohol extracts and acid bydrolysates of eleven species of mushrooms were added to Earle's ESS. A comparison of the respective multiplications of HeLa cells in this solution and in control solution of TC=199. Yielded the following result: The alcohol extracts and acid hydrolysates of a Coprinus comatur, Agaricus campestris, Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes, Tricholoma matsutake, Pleurotus ostretus, Ramaria botrytis and Pholiota nameko influenced favorably the maintenance of the normal form and monolayer of HeLa cells. The growth curves of HeLa cells in the cultures containing, respectively, the alcohol extracts and acid hydrolysates of these eight mushrooms showed that five species, i.e., Coprinus comatus, Agaricus compestris, Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes and Tricholoma matsutake effected an excellent multiplication and that the other three species were less effective than those five species. As to the effects on the cell multiplication, no marked difference was observed between the alcohol extracts and the acid hydrolysates of the mushrooms tested.

Effect of pulsed power was investigated on fruit body formation of 10 edible mushrooms, Lentinula edodes, Glifola frondosa, Pholiota nameko, Flammulina velutipes, Hypsizygus marmoreus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus abalonus, Agrocybe cylindracea and Sparassis crispa. Pulsed power of 100-170 kV was directly charged to the substrate just before fructification. The effect of the pulsed power resulted to promote for 10 edible mushrooms fructification. The treatment especially stimulated the fructification on Pleurotus species.

To develop potent anitumor polysac-charides from higher hungi of Korea the alcohol precipitated polysaccharides, which were obtained from hot water extracts of shake-cultured mycelia of eight species of basidiomycetes, were subjected to antitumor screening tests, using sarcoma 180 as a tumor cell. When administered i. p, at the dose level of 20mg/kg/day for ten days into the mice which were implanted with $1{times}10^{8}$ cells of sarcoma 180 twenty-four hour before the start of polysaccharide injection, the polysaccharides of Plutcus cervinus ISA-Pc-1004, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Hydnum repandum ISA-Hr-1006, and Laccaria laccata ISA-LI-1008 respectively showed inhibition ratios of 62.0%, 51.7%, 64.8%, and 57.8%. They were selected for further study, while those of Pancillus serotina ISA-Ps-1012, Laccaria amethystina ISA-La 1001, Pholiota adiposa ISA-Pa-1010, and Lepista spISA-Ls-1007 respectively showed inhibition ratios of -9.3%, 25.3%, 27.3% and 33.0%.

To find anititumor metabolites in Korean basidiomycetes, the shake-cultured mycelia of eight of the higher fungi were extracted with hot water and the extracts, after being partially purified, were subjected to in vivo antitumor test. When administered i. p. at the dose of 30mg/kg/day for ten consecutive days into the female ICR mice, which had been implanted with $1{\times}10^{6}$ / cells of sarcoma 180 twenty four hours before the first injection, the extracts of Agaricus campestris, Lyophyllum decastes, Lyophyllum ulmarium, Armillaria Tabescence and Calvatia exipuliformis respectively showed inhibition ratios of 64.1%, 65.45, 60.-%, 53.0 and 49.3%. These five species were selected for further study, whereas the extracts of Phallus impudicus, Coprinus comatus and Pholiota squarrosa whih showed the inhibition ratios of 31.2%, 33.5% and 19.0% were discontinued.
