Abstract

The hydroalcoholic extract of Laetiporus sulphureus mushroom had antifungal action against in vitro germination and growth of Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. tulipae, Penicillium gladioli and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungi, on Czapek-agar nutritive medium. The minimum inhibitory concentration of Laetiporus sulphureus varied between 100 μl/ml and 160 μl/ml, according to the fungal species and was compared to the action of the antimycotic fluconazole.
