In many studies conducted in recent years, it has been found that the beneficial natural ingredients found in mushrooms are very important in curing various diseases and eliminating disease factors. It has been reported that fungi that spread in different countries have biological activities. In this study, antioxidant level (TAS). oxidant level (TOS), and antibacterial and antifungalactivity of Entoloma sinuatum (Bull.) P. Kumm were determined. Ethanol extract of the mushroom was extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus. Antioxidant and oxidant levels were determined using Rel Assay TAS and TOS kits. Also. antimicrobial activity was tested against bacteria l and fungal strains using the agar dilution method. As a result of the studies. the TAS value of the mushroom was determined 2.64 +/- 0.15. the TOS value vas 6.58 +/- 0.23, and the OSI (Oxidative stress index) value was 0.25 +/- 0.02. In addition, it was determined that the ethanol extract of the mushroom was effective against bacteria at 200 and 400 mu g/mL, and against fungi at 50 mu g/mL concentrations. As a result, it was determined that E. sinuatum is a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent.
