Methods: Eight different species of wild edible mushrooms (Craterellus cornuco- pioides (L.) P. Karst, Armillaria mellea (Vahl) P. Kumm., Sarcodon imbricatus (L.) P. Karst., Lycoperdon perlatum Pers., Lactarius volemus (Fr.) Fr., Ramaria flava (Schaeff.) Quél.

University, 61080 Trabzon, Turkey 2Department of Science Education, Karadeniz Results: The protein, crude fat and carbohydrate contents (limit values%:avarage) of Technical University, 61335 Trabzon, Turkey investigated mushroom samples were found to be 21.12-50.10:34.08, 1.40-10.58:6.34 and 34-70:55, respectively. The zinc, manganese, iron and copper contents of the mushrooms samples were found to be in the range of 47.00-370.00 mg/kg, 7.10- 143.00 mg/kg, 30.20-550.00 mg/kg and 15.20-330.00 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusion: It is shown that the investigated mushrooms were rich sources of pro- tein and carbohydrates and had low amounts of fat. Metal contents and energy val- ues of the studied mushrooms were nearly similar to each other and agreed-well with the previous data. The results make these wild edible mushrooms popular to consume as good food sources. Key Words: biochemical composition, edible mushroom, micronutrient elements.

Accepted 2 January, 2014 Mushrooms are the higher fungi which have long been used for food and medicinal purposes. They have rich nutritional value with high protein content (up to 44.93%), vitamins, minerals, fibers, trace elements and low calories and lack cholesterol. There are 14,000 known species of mushrooms of which 2,000 are safe for human consumption and about 650 of these possess medicinal properties. Among the total known mushrooms, approximately 850 species are recorded from India. Many of them have been used in food and folk medicine for thousands of years. Mushrooms are also sources of bioactive substances including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, antitumour, anti-HIV and antidiabetic activities. Nutriceuticals and medicinal mushrooms have been used in human health development in India as food, medicine, minerals among others. The present review aims to update the current status of mushrooms diversity in India with their nutritional and medicinal potential as well as ethnomedicinal uses for different future prospects in pharmaceutical application. Key words: Mushroom diversity, nutritional value, therapeutic potential, bioactive compound.

Abstract: Mycomedicine is a unique class of natural medicine that has been widely used in Asian countries for thousands of years. Modern mycomedicine consists of fruiting bodies, spores, or other tissues of medicinal fungi, as well as bioactive components extracted from them, including polysaccha- rides and, triterpenoids, etc. Since the discovery of the famous fungal extract, penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in the late 19th century, researchers have realised the significant antibiotic and other medic- inal values of fungal extracts. As medicinal fungi and fungal metabolites can induce apoptosis or autophagy, enhance the immune response, and reduce metastatic potential, several types of mush- rooms, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Grifola frondosa, have been extensively investigated, and anti- cancer drugs have been developed from their extracts. Although some studies have highlighted the anti-cancer properties of a single, specific mushroom, only limited reviews have summarised diverse medicinal fungi as mycomedicine. In this review, we not only list the structures and functions of pharmaceutically active components isolated from mycomedicine, but also summarise the mecha- Citation: Dai, R.; Liu, M.; Nik Nabil, W.N.; Xi, Z.; Xu, H.

Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. SYSTEMATICS OF DIVISION BASIDIOMYCOTA 2 THELEPHOROID CLADE This includes the order Thelephorales, a small group of predominantly ectomycorrhizal fungi with variable basidiocarps. The most important genus is Thelephora. T. terrestris produces clusters of fanshaped basidiocarps which are chocolate-brown in colour with a paler margin. They are often formed around the stem of young trees, seemingly ‘choking’ them. Basidiocarps of T. terrestris superficially resemble those of Stereum but are monomitic, composed of clamped generative hyphae only. The basidiospores are brown and warty. Thelephora terrestris fruits in association with coniferous trees growing on light sandy soils and heaths. It isone of a group of early-stage ectomycorrhizal associates of a variety of trees and also forms mycorrhiza with Arbutus menziesii, a member of the Ericaceae (Webster& Weber, 2007). HYMENOCHAETOID CLADE One feature that distinguishes the five Homobasidiomycete clades considered in the previous sections from the remaining three clades is the structure of the parenthesome, i.e. the membranous structure overarching the septal pore. In the five clades already described, the typical homobasidiomycete dolipore with a perforated parenthesome is found, whereas in the hymenochaetoid, cantharelloid and gomphoid_phalloid clades shown in, the parenthesome is generally imperforate. Imperforate parenthesomes are also found in certain Heterobasidiomycetes, namely Dacrymycetales and Auriculariales. The hymenochaetoid clade comprises about 630 species recruited from three families, namely the entire Hymenochaetaceae and parts of Corticiaceae and Polyporaceae (Webster& Weber, 2007).

E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Cantharellus versicolor is described and illustrated as a new species based on morphological and molecular characters. The most significant features to distinguish the new species from other known Cantharellus are its extremely fleshy, turning gray after injury and with black floccose-fibrillose scales composed of thick-walled and irregular, erect hyphae on the pileus. It is described from the subalpine belt of Shangri-La, northwestern Yunnan, China. Phylogenetic analysis of the transcription elongation factor 1-alpha sequence data further support its systematic position in the subgenus Cantharellus and its descrip- tion as a new species.
