Twenty-seven (27) species of edible mushrooms growing in both soil and wood have been described here from Mizoram, India. All the species were identified based on their morphological, both macro- and microscopic characteristics. The study was carried out during July 2013 to October 2016. Wood inhabiting fungi viz. Schizophyllum commune (pasi), Lentinula lateritia (pa pal), Auricularia auricular-judae (Pu Vana beng), Lentinus tigrinus (pa hnahkhar), L. polychrous (pa chang/pa puanveng) and soil growing fungi viz., Lactifluus corrugis (pa uithin), Lactarius piperatus (pa lengvar), Macrolepiota dolichaula (pa se-ek), Russula subfragiliformis (pa lengsen), Termotomyces heimii (pa sawntlung), Volvariella taylorii (changel pa) are the edible species known to the local community. Other edible species yet unknown to the local community in Mizoram are also recorded viz., Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides, Lycoperdon perlatum, Macrolepiota procera, Ramariopsis kunzei, Russula aurora, R. compacta, R. cyanoxantha, Lentinula edodes, Lentinus sajor-caju, Pleurotus ostreatus, P. djamor, Tremella fuciformis, T. mesenterica, Laetiporus suphureus and Fistulina hepatica.

In this study, we examined aqueous extracts of the edible mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) and Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushroom). Proteome analysis was conducted using LC-Triple TOF-MS and showed the expression of 753 proteins by Pleurotus ostreatus, and 432 proteins by Lentinula edodes. Bioactive peptides: Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor, superoxide dismutase, thioredoxin reductase, serine proteinase and lectin, were identified in both mushrooms. The extracts also included promising bioactive compounds including phenolics, flavonoids, vitamins and amino acids. The extracts showed promising antiviral activities, with a selectivity index (SI) of 4.5 for Pleurotus ostreatus against adenovirus (Ad7), and a slight activity for Lentinula edodes against herpes simplex-II (HSV-2). The extracts were not cytotoxic to normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). On the contrary, they showed moderate cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. Additionally, antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical cation scavenging and ORAC assays. The two extracts showed potential antioxidant activities, with the maximum activity seen for Pleurotus ostreatus (IC50 µg/mL) = 39.46 ± 1.27 for DPPH; 11.22 ± 1.81 for ABTS; and 21.40 ± 2.20 for ORAC assays. This study encourages the use of these mushrooms in medicine in the light of their low cytotoxicity on normal PBMCs vis à vis their antiviral, antitumor and antioxidant capabilities.

RESUMO Avaliou-se a degradação de Eucalyptus sp. pelos basidiomicetos Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus e Schizophyllum commune, in vitro e em condições de campo. Para tanto, na degradação in vitro foram utilizados discos de Eucalyptus sp. submetidos aos seguintes tratamentos: T1 controle; T2 – 5 mL de água; T3 – 10 mL de água; T4 meio de cultura batata-dextrose-ágar. O parâmetro analisado foi a perda de massa (em %), após 60 e 120 dias de incubação. Em condições de campo foram utilizados corpos de prova deEucalyptus sp. inoculados com substrato “spawn” dePleurotusostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus e Schizophyllum commune. Foram realizados os seguintes tratamentos: T1 – controle (sem água e sem inóculo); T2 – corpos de prova submersos por 24h em água e T3 – corpos de prova não submersos por 24h em água e avaliada a perda de massa (%), após 60 e 120 dias de incubação. A degradação dos discos de eucalipto in vitro e em condições de campo foi influenciada pelos isolados. Os discos de eucalipto, in vitro, inoculados com Pycnoporus cinnabarinus apresentaram, em média, 25,33% de perda de massa e o micélio foi mais vigoroso em relação ao isolado Pleurotus ostreatus e ao Schizophyllum commune. Os tratamentos empregados e o período de incubação, in vitro, não influenciaram a perda de massa dos discos de eucalipto. Em condições de campo, a perda de massa dos corpos de prova de eucalipto, inoculados com Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, foi de 15,79%, já com Pleurotus ostreatus foi de 12,45% e Schizophyllum commune 12,95%.
