Inhibition of growth and sporulation of Penicillium expansum by extracts of selected Basidiomycetes

Teresa Florianowicz

Abstract


A screening of antifungal activity of 33 Basidiomycetes strains was realized with their extracts. The influence of aqueous extracts of fruit-bodies of the testeded fungi after addition of spores or hyphae of Penicillium expansum on growth and sporulation of the fitopathogen in vitro was estimated. The species: Hydnum repandum L.: Fr., Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) Kummer, Coprinus comatus (Műll Fr.) S.F. Gray, Coprinus atramentarius (Bull: Fr.) Fr. and Lactarius turpis (Weinm.) Fr. reduced the mycelial growth and inhibited sporulation of this pathogen.
