The Polyporaceae is a chaotic mass of genera having poroid hymenophores in the Aphyllophorales. To classify the Polyporaceae into more natural groups, phylogenetic analyses were performed using nuclear small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. Thirty-six species from the families of the Polyporaceae, the Hymenochaetaceae, the Ganodermataceae, the Corticiaceae, the Bondarzewiaceae, the Meruliaceae, the Steccherinaceae and the Lentinaceae were phylogenetically compared. By performing maximum parsimony analysis, seven phylogenetically meaningful groups were identified and discussed. The hyphal system, presence or absence of clamps, and the type of rot were found as important characters in defining the groups. Each group was phylogenetically significant enough to be a core member of each family when the Polyporaceae was split into smaller and more natural families.

Restriction-polymorphic patterns of nuclear-ITS were examined for the genetic relationships among 12 bisidiomycetous mushrooms to Aphyllophorales and Agaricales. The taxonomic affinity of Ganoderma species with the family Polyporaceae also was examined. With 13 restriction endonucleases, 159 restriction characters were generated form the 12 species examined. UPGMA and neighbor-joining analyses separated the 12 species into two genetically distinct groups that correspond to orders (Agaricales and Aphyllophorales) where each species is included. This result indicates that there is clear genetic demarcation between Agaricales and Aphyllophorales. Dendrograms constructed by several data analyses showed that even though Ganoderma species are somewhat in intermediate taxonomic position between the Polyporaceae and families of the Agaricales, they are genetically more related to the Polyporaceae. These results are consistent with morphological characters observed in those mushrooms. However, it is premature to conclude taxonomic status Ganoderma species in the present study employing small sample size.

Objective : For the purpose of developing Korean herbology of the plants to Polyporaceae in Korea, the literatures of the successive generations have been thoroughly investigated to prepare this article. Methods : The examined herbological books and research paper which published domestically and abroad. Results : 1. Polyporacease plants (raised in Korea) are devided into 31 classes with 59 species. Among them, 26 species in 19 classes were found serviceable, which indicates 44 % of all Polyporacease plants. 2. Among those 59 species, $Coriolus$ $Phellinus$ $Trametes$ includes 5 species. $Ganoderma$, a medicinal plant, includes 3 species. 3. Dividing the serviceable plants of Polyporacease, the fruit body family had the largest number; 25. 4. Out of plants Polyporacease, neutral taste plants was 17 species and sweet taste was 14 species. 5. Only 8 species of Polyporaceae plants were found to enterd into the spleen and heart. 6. 11 species were found to prevent cancer, 7 species were found to dispel wind-dampness and Alleviate edem antittusive and antasth matic. 7. There were no toxic species in the Plyporaceae. Conclusion : There were totaled to 31 genera and 59 species in Polyporaceae in Korea and among them medicinal plants are 19genera, 26 species, some 44% in total.

Phytochemical study of Ganoderma lucidum (Polyporaceae) let to the isolation of five lanostane triterpenoid (1-5), along with two nitrogen derived phenolic compounds, N-phenylethylformamide (6) and N-acetylphenethylamine (7). The structures of the compounds were determined by 1D and 2D NMR, and MS experiments, as well as by comparison of their data with published values. Compounds 6 and 7 were isolated for the first time from the genus Ganoderma and this species. All the compounds were evaluated for cancer chemopreventive potential based on their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells in vitro. Among the isolates, compounds 2 and 3 showed moderate inhibitory activity against NO production.

The fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum (Polyporaceae) is one of the valuable crude drugs, which has been used clinically in Korea, China, and Japan for a long time as a tonic and sedative, and for the treatment of hepatopathy, chronic hepatitis, nephritis, gastric ulcer, hypertension, arthritis, neurasthenia, insomnia, asthma, and poisoning and chronic bronchitis. Nowadays, this mushroom is used for leukopenia and paid much attention as a home remedy. (omitted)

To screen antioxidative and whitening effects of some medicinal plants, 70% ethanol extracts were tested for their electron donating abilities to DPPH ( ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}$-diphenyl- ${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl) and inhibitory activities against lipid peroxidation, and tyrosinase inhibition in vitro. The electron donating activities of 70% ethanol extracts at the concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml were in the order of Forsythiae fructus > Polyporaceae > Glycyrrhizae radix > Schizandrae fructus > Ramulus mori > Carthami semen. The order was Forsythiae fructus > Carthami semen > Schizandrae fructus > Polyporaceae > Glycyrrhizae radix when tested at 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, indicating that the activities depend on the concentration. The electron donating activities of Forsythiae fructus and Carthami semen at the concentration of 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml were 37% and 31% respectively. Lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities were in the order of Artemisia messerschimidtiana > Glycyrrhizae uadix > Rehmaniae radix > Ramulus mori. Tyrosinase inhibitory activities were in the order of Ramulus mori > Artemisia messerschimidtiana > Oyster mushroom. The results suggest that Forsythiae fructus, Artemisia messerschimidtiana and Ramulus mori could be used as materials for anti-skin aging functional cosmetics.

This study was conducted to investigate the diversity of higher fungi in NaeJangSan National Park from April 2004 to November 2006. The obtained results from investigation were as follows. The total of 5 classes, 19 orders, 60 families, 168 genera and 418 species (including 10 families, 13 genera and 15 species unrecorded) including saprophytic and ectomycorrhizal fungi was investigated. The higher fungi were classified into 47 families, 143 genera and 384 species in Basidiomycotina, 9 families, 19 genera and 28 species in Ascomycotina and 4 families, 6 genera and 6 species in Myxomycota. It was turned out that most of the higher fungi belong to Hymenomycetidae in Basidiomycotina, for which 34 families 122 genera, and 353 species were observed. Dorminant species belonged to Tricholomataceae(64 species) Russulaceae(39 species), Polyporaceae(36 species) and Boletaceae(36 species). The mushroom occurrence of higher fungi was closely related to climatic conditions such as high air temperature and lots of rainfall from July to September. The environment which has a favorable influence of mushroom occurrence was air temperature, relative humidity and rainfall of climatic environment.
