Abstract

Edible mushrooms are dietary products that are widely consumed in many societies. It is known that mushrooms, which stand out with their nutritive properties, also have high medicinal potential. In this study, wild edible mushrooms Lyophyllum decastes (Fr.) Singer, Agaricus augustus Fr. and Bovistella utriformis (Bull.) Demoulin and Rebriev were determined. In this context, ethanol and methanol extracts of mushrooms were obtained in a soxhlet device. In addition, total antioxidant (TAS), total oxidant (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) values were determined using Rel Assay kits. Antimicrobial activities were tested against standard bacterial and fungal strains by agar dilution method. Antiproliferative activities were measured against A549 lung cancer cell line with the activity MTT assay. According to the results obtained, it was determined that B. utriformis had the highest TAS value. The highest TOS value was seen in L. decastes. Ethanol extracts of B. utriformis exhibited the highest activity against bacteria. The ethanol extracts of B. utriformis and A. augustus exhibited the highest activities against fungal strains. In addition, the antiproliferative activity of all mushroom extracts showed strong effects depending on the concentration increase. In this context, it was determined that L. decastes, B. utriformis and A. augustus had high biological activities.
