The dry weight, nutrient contents and antimicrobial activity was studied in edible and non-edible mushrooms. The dry weight of the mushroom was analysed and it was found in the range of 11-16 gm/100gm.the maximum dry weight observed in Ganoderma K e y w o r d s tsugae (16.1 gm/100gm) followed by Agaricus bisporus (14.3 gm/100gm) The maximum nutrient content was observed in Agaricus bisporus and the minimum Mushroom, amount of nutrient content was observed in Ganoderma tsugae. The maximum pathogen, amount of protein (32.0 mg/gm), glucose (13.2 mg/gm) and free amino acid (5.2 inhibition, mg/gm) content was observed in the Agaricus bisporus and the trace amount of antibacterial was observed in Ganoderma tsugae. The antimicrobial activity was studied by the mushroom extracts (acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide) of Pleurotus djamor, Agaricus bisporus and Ganoderma tsugae against the pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The acetone extracts of Agaricus bisporus reported highest zone of inhibition (13 mm and 14 mm) against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The Agaricus bisporus reported more antimicrobial activity in acetone extract and the Ganoderma tsugae reported more antibacterial activity in dimethyl sulfoxide extracts. Introduction Mushrooms are important constituents of as they can be used as food and medicines this biosphere that is rich in cellulose is besides their key ecological roles. present. Mushrooms are naturally grown Mushrooms have been found effective on the trunks, leaves, roots of trees as well against cancer, cholesterol reduction, as decaying woody materials and dead stress, asthma, allergies and diabetes wood trees (Lindequist et al., 2005). (Bahi, 1983). The carbohydrate content of Mushrooms offer tremendous applications mushrooms represents the bulk of fruiting 518 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2014) 3(6): 518-526 bodies accounting for 50 to 65% on dry Materials and Methods weight basis. Protein is an important constituent of dry matter of mushrooms. The present work deals with the nutrient Mushrooms are very useful for vegetarian contents and antimicrobial activity in the food because they contain some essential edible and non-edible mushrooms. amino acids which are found in animal proteins (Verma et al., 1987). Collection of Mushroom Edible mushroom characteristically The three types of edible and non-edible contain many different bioactive mushrooms are selected for our study. The compounds such as polysaccharides, oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor) glycolipids, sesquiterpenes etc., with (MDU-1) was obtained from Ayya Nadar diverse biological activities such as Janaki Ammal College Mushroom Centre. anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal and The Button mushroom (Agaricus antiviral agents. Ganoderma lucidum is bisporus) procured from supermarket in one of the most famous traditional chinese Sivakasi .The non-edible mushroom medicinal herb which has antimicrobial Ganoderma tsugae were collected in Ayya effects due to the extracts derived from Nadar Janaki Ammal College campus this mushrooms which contain during rainy season (Plate 1). bacteriolytic enzyme and acid protease (Klaus and Miomir, 2007).

Identification of Mushroom (2007) observed high zone of inhibition of in methyl extract form G. lucidum against The collected mushroom were identified Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas by the help of morphological characters of aeruginosa followed by Staphylococcus the colour size, shape , nature of pileus, aureus while least zone of inhibition was stipe and gills with the help of Mycology recorded against Bacillus species. penned by Alexopoulos (1996).The above three types of mushroom were subjected Extracts of Ganoderma applanatum for the analysis of dry weight, nutrient (Smania et al., 1999) and Ganoderma content and antimicrobial properties. pfeifferi (Mothana et al., 2000) have been shown to possess significant antimicrobial Preparation of Mushroom Powder activity against E. coli. Sheena et al. (2003) reported that methanol extract of The collected mushrooms of Pleurotus Ganoderma lucidum showed remarkable djamor and Agaricus bisporus were dried antimicrobial activity against Escherichia in hot air oven at 50ºC for 24 hours. Then coli, Salmonella sp., and Bacillus subtils. the dried mushroom were ground and Keypour et al. (2008) investigated the powdered by using mixie. The non-edible antimicrobial activity in chloroform mushrooms of Ganoderma were kept in extract of G. lucidum against Bacillus the hot air oven at 60ºC for one week and subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. then it was powdered by grinding. The present study deals with collection, Dry Weight identification, studies of nutrient contents and antimicrobial activities of selected Fresh mushrooms of (100 mg) Pleurotus mushrooms. djamor, Agaricus bisporus and 519 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2014) 3(6): 518-526 Ganoderma tsugae was weighed and add with 4 ml of anthrone reagent separately and it was kept in the hot air slowly to the test tube. The supernatant oven at 80°C for two days. The dry weight was collected and it was made upto 100 ml of the mushroom was calculated by with distilled water. Later it was added weighing the mushrooms in an electronic with 0.9 ml of distilled water. Then it was balance separately. thoroughly mixed by using cyclomixture. Later the contents were boiled in water Estimation of protein bath for 10 minutes by placing the marbles on the mouth of test tube. After 10 minutes Fresh mushrooms (100 mg) were of boiling, the test tubes were allowed to homogenized in 10 ml distilled water and cool down at room temperature and the the extract was centrifuged at 5000 rpm absorbance was noted at 620 nm using for 5 minutes.

Hinton Agar medium. The three kinds of edible and non edible mushrooms Pleurotus djamor, Agaricus Preparation of mushroom extract bisporus and Ganoderma tsugae were identified based on their characters. The dried mushroom powder was used for the preparation of mushroom extract. Nutrient contents Five gm of mushroom powder was mixed with 100 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide and The dry weight of the mushrooms was acetone separately in a beaker and it was noted in the mushroom of edile and non- placed on a shaker for 24 hours. The edible mushroom Ganoderma recorded aqueous solutions were filtered through maximum dry weight. The dry weight of Whatman (No.1) filter paper and then it mushrooms were (16.14gm, 14.34gm and placed on the rotary evaporator vaccuo, for 11.62 gm/100gm of fresh wt) in 15 minutes at 37ºC.
