The current study aimed to purify molecules mediating the anti-cancer cell activity. The extract of Amauroderma rude was subject to fractionation, silica gel chromatography, and HPLC. We purified a compound and identified it as ergosterol by EI-MS and NMR, which was expressed at the highest level in Amauroderma rude compared with other medicinal mushrooms tested. We found that ergosterol induced cancer cell death, which was time and concentration dependent.

The structures of compounds (1-3) were elucidated using NMR and MS spectroscopic methods. Keywords: Pericarbonyl lignan; amaurolignan A; Amauroderma rude. © 2019 ACG Publications. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction “Lingzhi” is a mushroom that has been renowned in China for more than 2000 years because of its claimed medicinal properties and symbolic fortune, which translates as ‘Ganodermataceae’ in a broad sense, and in a narrow sense it represents the highly prized medicinal Ganoderma species distributed in East Asia [1]. Its medicinal properties include anti-aging, lowering blood pressure, improving immunity, and preventing and treating various cancers, chronic bronchitis, gastric ulcers, hepatitis, neurasthenia and thrombosis [2-4]. The medicinal effects of many mushrooms such as Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinula edodes, Agaricus blazei, Antrodia camphorate and Grifola frondosaI come from their metabolites including polysaccharides, triterpenes, lucidenic acids, adenosine, ergosterol, glucosamine and cerebrosides [5-8].

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology (Journal of Fungal Biology) 9(1), 77–84, Doi 10.5943/cream/9/1/8 Abstract During an extensive survey of macrobasidiomycota and the effects of climate changes on their distribution supported by Alexandria Research Center for Adaptation (ARCA) in Egypt and Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund (MBZ), several specimens collected, examined and preserved. As a result, two species of Tomophagus colossus (Fr.) Murrill (Basidiomycota, Ganodermataceae) and Battarrea phalloides (Dicks.) Pers. (Basidiomycota, Agaricaceae) were identified and recorded as new records. Both taxa were identified phenotypically and were subjected to sequencing for confirmation. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1–5.8 s – ITS2 rDNA sequences obtained were compared with those deposited in the GenBank Database and registered with accession number MH796120 and MH796121 in the NCBI Database respectively. We provide an updated full description and illustration of both species. Key words – Agaricaceae – ARCA – Basidiomycota – Ganodermataceae – Ismailia – MBZ – Nile delta Introduction Ganodermataceae Donk (Basidiomycota) was described in 1948 on the basis of double walled basidiospores, with an outer (exosporium) layer relatively thin and hyaline, and the inner (endosporium) usually pigmented, thick and often ornamented, rarely smooth (Cannon & Kirk 2007).

Its species are widely researched, because of their highly prized medicinal value, since they contain many chemical constituents with potential nutritional and therapeutic values. Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi) is one of the most sought after species within the genus, since it is believed to have considerable therapeutic properties. In the G. lucidum species complex, there is much taxonomic confusion concerning the status of species, whose identification and circumscriptions are unclear because of their wide spectrum of morphological variability.

During December 2017 to August 2018, a total of 246 samples were classified to 2 phyla Fungi; Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. These mushrooms were revealed into 203 species based on their morphological characteristic. They were classified into species level (78 species), generic level (103 species) and unidentified (22 species). All of them were divided into 4 groups according to their ecological roles in the forest ecosystem, namely, saprophytic mushrooms 138 species (67.98%), ectomycorrhizal mushrooms 51 species (25.12%), plant parasitic mushrooms 6 species (2.96%) termite mushroom 1 species (0.49%). Six species (2.96%) were unknown ecological roles and 1 species as Boletellus emodensis (Berk.) Singer are both of the ectomycorrhizal and plant parasitic mushroom. The edibility of these mushrooms were edible (29 species), inedible (8 species) and unknown edibility (166 species). Eleven medicinal mushroom species were recorded in this study. The most interesting result is Spongiforma thailandica Desjardin, et al. has been found, the first report found after the first discovery in 2009 at Khao Yai National Park by E. Horak, et al. Keywords: Species list, ecological roles, edibility, protected area, Spongiforma thailandica Introduction Mushroom is a group of fungi which has the reproductive part known as the fruit body or fruiting body and develops to form and distribute the spores.

M. DENTINGER, JEAN-MARC MONCALVO Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada Ganoderma Karsten and allies (Ganodermataceae Donk, Polyporales, Agaricomycetidae) are a group of polypore fungi of significant economic importance. Several species cause severe losses to perennial crops in many tropical countries (Flood et al. 2000) and some are of great interest for medicinal and pharmaceutical purposes, particularly in Eastern Asia (Jong & Birmingham 1992, Lin & Zang 2004). Members of the Ganodermataceae are characterized and easily recognized by the unique presence of double-walled basidospores. The monophyly of the group was confirmed in molecular phylogenetic analyses (Hibbett et al. 1997, Moncalvo et al. 2002). However, both generic and specific circumscription within the family have been difficult and controversial (Furtado 1965, Steyaert 1972, 1980, Corner 1983, Zhao 1989, Moncalvo & Ryvarden 1997, Moncalvo 2000). Murrill (1905a,b) created the genus Tomophagus to segregate G. colossum (Fr.) C.F. Baker from Ganoderma based on its unusually thick and pale context that becomes soft and light when dry. Tomophagus was not accepted by Furtado (1965), Steyaert (1972, 1980), Corner (1983), Ryvarden (1991), and many other authors. Steyaert (1980) even suggested that G. colossum could be a tropical variant of the temperate western North American species G.
