Abstract

In this study, antifungal activities of Fomitopsis pinicola (Sw.:Fr) Karst and Lactarius vellereus (Pers.) Fr. extracts with chloroform and ethanol against Fusarium inflexum and Fusarium heterosporium were investigated. Mycelial discs (8 mm Ø) taken from actively growing margin of 7-day-old culture of each species and were placed in each extract medium. All species were incubated for 3 days at 28°C in the dark. Antifungal activity was obtained by disc diffusion method. © 2009 Academic Journals.
