Abstract

Many species of mushrooms have been used in folk medicine for thousands of years. Medicinal mushrooms are now the subject of study for many ethno botanists and medical researchers. The lignicolous fungi were collected from living trees in Andhra Loyola College, Vijayawada, India. They were identified as Ganoderma lucidum G. applanatum and Phellinus noxious. The lignicolous fungi were analyzed for bioactive compounds in extraction of Ganoderma and Phellinus based on their polarity solvents like ethanol and methanol. The bioactive compounds like Anthocyanins, tannins, terpenoids, and flavonoids shown excellent concentration in test fungi. The moderate concentration of alkaloids was found in Phellinus noxious. For the first time the bio active compounds like Phenols, Alkaloid and Anthocyanins were reported from G. lucidum G. applanatum. The wide range of bioactive compounds constituents and these can be useful for drug discovery and development of various new formulations. For the first t
