Abstract
Inhibitory effect of aqueous extracts from the saw dust-rice bran media with grown mycelia of some edible fungi on tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection and multiplication was examined. Edible fungi used were Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing., Flammulina velutipes (Curt. ex Fr.) Sing., Lyophyllum aggregatum (Schaff. ex Secr.) Kühner., Auricularia auricula-Judae (Bull. ex Fr.) Quél., Tremella fuciformis Berk., Pholiota nameko (T. Ito) S. Ito et Imai, Volvariella esculenta Bres. and Agricus bisporus (Lange) Sing. The extracts from the saw dust-rice bran media with grown mycelia of L. edodes or F. velutipes strongly inhibited TMV infection. However, no significant effect on TMV muliplication was noted in all extracts examined here.
