Many higher fungi were collected at Pyonsan penisula Mt.Odae, Korean Highway Cororation Arboretum, Mt.Moak, Yaksan island from 1996 to 1998. They were identified and according to the results, Hygrocybe coccineocrenata, Collybia neofusipes, Marasmius wettsteinii, Amanita esculenta, Lepiota fuscipes, Leucocoprinus subglobisporus, Cystoderma japonicum and Coprinus narcoticus are newly to Korea. They were designed Korean common name by author.

To elucidate the hemolytic toxicities of Korean basidiomycetes, the cold-water extracts of 46 wild mushrooms were tested for hemolytic activity on mouse erythrocytes. Twelve species including Amanita esculenta, A. griseofarinosa, A. longistriata, A. melleiceps, A. phalloides, A. rubescence, A. spissacea, A. vaginata, Hebeloma crustuliniforme, Lepiota cygnea, Macrolepiota procera, and Oudemansiella platyphylla showed strong hemolytic activities. Of these, A. griseofarinosa and H. crustuliniforme showed no decrease in their hemolytic activity even after five minutes' boiling.

For the searching of antibiotics in the mushroom, we studied on the screening of antiyeast and antifungal components. The powder of fruiting body of each mushroom was extracted with petroleum ether, 80% ethanol, and distilled water in that order, respectively. The antifungal activity of each extract from 32 different mushrooms were tested. The petroleum ether or ethanol extracts from fruiting bodies of Boletus auripes, Leccinum extremiorientale, Gomphus floccosus, Phaeolus schweinitzii, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus and Marasmius maximus showed antiyeast activities. The ethanol extract of Gyrophora esculenta showed an antiyeast activity against Cryptococcus neoformans, and its minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was $600\;{\mu}g/ml$. The petroleum ether or ethanol extracts from fruiting bodies of Amanita citrina, Leccinum extremiorientale, Gomphus floccosus, Phaeolus schweinitzii, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Marasmius maximus and Gyrophora esculenta showed antifungal activities. The ethanol extract of Gomphus floccoscus showed an antifungal activity against Microsporum gypseum, and its MIC was $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$. The ethanol extract of Gyrophora esculenta showed antifungal activities against Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum gypseum and Pyricularia oryzae, and theirs MIC were $300\;{\mu}g/ml,\;600\;{\mu}g/ml\;and\;600\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The petroleum ether extract of Gyrophrora esculenta also showed an antifungal activity against Microsporum gypseum, and its MIC was $300\;{\mu}g/ml$.
