Armillaria mellea is a commonly harvested and consumed mushroom in Poland. Several activities of polysaccharides from this species have already been reported. However, A. growing the wild Poland not yet investigated. This study was conducted to obtain crude polysaccharide fraction (AmPS) investigate its chemical composition biological properties. Our research suggests that valuable source polys...

The article is devoted to the study of isolation processes, chemical structure and rheological properties chitin-glucan complexes from biomass Armillaria mellea. Because studies, it was found that yield ranged 11.0 24.9% with a degree deacetylation 24 55%. maximum obtained by treating fruiting bodies fungi at stage deproteinization 3% aqueous solution sodium hydroxide mechanical stirring 225 rp...

White-rot fungi can degrade a wide spectrum of environmental pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, which are not efficiently removed from wastewater by conventional methods, e.g., the activated sludge method. However, treatment with use fungal cultures (mycoremediation) also has significant limitations: among others, need to appropriate, often-expensive culture media. We aimed screen 18 media ...

Carpophoroids traditionally attributed to Entoloma abortivum (“Aborted Entolomas”) represent malformed Armillaria fruiting bodies permeated by E. abortivum hyphae, as shown by our field observations and preliminary laboratory work. This contradicts the generally accepted hypothesis that carpophoroids are E. abortivum fruiting bodies colonized by Armillaria. Carpophoroids possess many of the str...

Interest in identification and characterization of fungi is increasing because of the expanding impact of fungi on biotechnological, industrial and medical systems. Fungal taxonomy, traditionally based on comparative morphology, has at times led to confusion when apparently insignificant and continuously variable morphological criteria are used to describe new taxa and to reclassify existing ta...
