Protein-polysaccharide fractions separated from nine Korean wild mushrooms were subjected to an in vitro screening test for lymphoblastogenic activity. Of these, PPLP, the protein-polysaccharide fraction of Lycoperdon pedicellatum, showed the most potent activity and were further investigated for its antitumor activity. When intraperitoneally injected into ICR mice once daily for six days at a dose of 30 mg/kg, PPLP strongly inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 tumor cells, showing the inhibition ratio of 97.6%. PPLP also showed in vitro inhibitory activity on sarcoma 180 or leukemia L1210 at the concentration of 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ or higher. These results strongly suggest that PPLP might exert its antitumor activity through immunostimulation as well as inhibitory activity on the tumor cells.

Quercus acutissima ectomycorrhizae were classified as apical type, linear type, clavate type, diffuse type, pyramidal type, coralloid type, and nodular type. The surface texture of the fungal mantle at the initial stage of mycorrhizal formation was velvety. The surface texture of Pisolithus tinctorius(Pt) mycorrhizae at 30 September was well-developed felty mantle, Yellowish white. Except Pt all mycorrhizae formed by ectomycorrhizal fungi used to experiment were white with felty mantle. Mycorrhizae at the initial stage of mycorrhizae formation were creamy or creamy brown and swelled with thin mantle. Transverse and longitudinal sections showed radially-elongated cortical cell layers and epidermal cell with Hartig net. The transversal wideth of radially-elongated cortical and epidermal cells in the mycorrhizae with thick mantle on 30 September did not different with the mycorrhizae with thin mantle on the initial stage. Pt #250 formed coralloid mycorrizae but Pt KJ-1 did not although they are same species. On the mean length of linear type ectomycorrhizae of Pt KJ-1(2.21mm) was 1.5 times longer than that of Pt #250(1.32mm). The total dry weight of seedlings inoculated with Pt KJ-1, Pt #250, Lycoperdon pedicellatum, Scleroderma verrucosum were significantly heavier than those of suillus granulatus, Laccaria laccata.
