Five fungi (mushrooms), Daedaleopsis styracina, Trichaptum abietium, Coriolus versicolor, Pisolithus tinctorius and Tricholomopsis decora, were screened and examined the fibrinolytic activity and specificity. The extracts of mushrooms showed a level of fibrinolytic activity that was about 3-4 times higher than that of plasmin 1.0 unit. In particular, Pisolithus tinctorius of them showed the greatest enzyme activity (4.71 plasmin unit/mL) by fibrin plate assay, and the highest specificity (1.32 plasmin unit/mL) using chromogenic substrate (N-p-Tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys p-nitroanilide) by Tricholomopsis decora. And the same molecular mass 54 and 61kDa showing the fibrinolytic activity obtained from all fruiting bodies were confirmed, and it was found that Trichaptum abietium and Tricholomopsis decora have a strong fibrinolytic enzyme with an apparent size of 100 kDa and 84 kDa, respectively on SDS-fibrin zymography activity assay.

Higher fungi were collected in Mt. Jiri National Park areas from May, 1987 to October, 1987. These higher fungi were identified. As a result of identification, Conocybe rickenii (Schaeffer) Kuhner, Coprinus rhizophorus kawam et al., Agaricus comtulus Fr., Tricholomopsis decora (Fr.) Sing., Gymnopilus penetrans (Fr. ex Fr.) Murr., Amanita abrupta Peck, A. rufoferruginea Hongo and Stropharia semiglobata (Batsch ex Fr.) Quel. were newly recorded in Korea.
