Fungi are vital to numerous industrial and household processes, especially producing cheeses, beer, wine, bread, they accountable for breaking down organic matter. The remarkable medicinal nutritional values of the mushrooms have increased their consumption. Agaricus bisporus belongs Agaricaceae family, it is a top-ranked cultivated mushroom that well known its edibility. A. rich in nutrients s...

In the framework of the collection and identification of agaric fungi of Iran, three species of the genus Lepiota, viz. Lepiota brunneoincarnata, L. echinella and L. subincarnata are reported as new records for mycobiota of Iran. Two species, L. brunneoincarnata and L. subincarnata are deadly poisonous taxa. Up to now, two species of Amanita, A. phalloides and A. verna, and one from Galerina, G...

The Mycobiota of Samanlı Mountains were investigated in this study. Specimens collected during 3 years between November 2012 and 2015. 510 macrofungal taxa belonging to 197 genera within 84 families recorded with field laboratory studies. Of these, 37 57 belong Ascomycota, while 160 453 Basidiomycota. Nine species found for the first time Turkey from These are Amanita subnudipes (Romagn.) Tullo...

Macrofungi have long been investigated for various scientific purposes including their food and medicinal characteristics. Their role in aerobiology as a fraction of the primary biological aerosol particles (PBAPs), however, has been poorly studied. In this study, we present a source of macrofungi with two different but interdependent objectives: (i) to characterize the macrofungi from a tropic...

Phylogenetic relationships were investigated in the mushroom genus Coprinus based on sequence data from the nuclear encoded large-subunit rDNA gene. Forty-seven species of Coprinus and 19 additional species from the families Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitiaceae, Agaricaceae, Podaxaceae, and Montagneaceae were studied. A total of 1360 sites was sequenced across seven divergent domains and i...

Phylogenetic relationships of mushrooms and their relatives within the order Agaricales were addressed by using nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. Approximately 900 bases of the 5' end of the nucleus-encoded large subunit RNA gene were sequenced for 154 selected taxa representing most families within the Agaricales. Several phylogenetic methods were used, including weighted and equa...

widely eaten and prescribed around the world. It is belonged to the Agaricaceae family and is popularly known as “Himematsutake” in Japan. In Brazil, this mushroom is used as a traditional medicine for the prevention of cancer, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and chronic hepatitis. Recently, it has been reported that Agaricus blazei has the anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-mutagen...
