Abstract
Several medicines obtained from Pyrrhoderma mushrooms are widely used against several diseases throughout the world. So, in preparation of crude drugs/ folk medicines of mushroom i.e. Pyrrhoderma noxium collected from Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh, India was studied and identified phenotypically. The present work aims to test the presence of Mycochemicals and proximate composition for standardization of powder of P. noxium. The solvents used for extraction and method of extraction played a vital role on mycochemical and proximate composition of P. noxium sporophore. The maceration water bath assisted extraction method is the best extraction method compared to maceration and Reflux extraction methods for all parameters studied in this work. The present study shows the extraction method and type of solvent influencing the presence of mycochemical composition like alkaloids, carbohydrates, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, diterpenoids, and anthocyanin in hymenochaetales fungi. The proximate composition evaluation is very much useful for standardisation of P. noxium in powder form. That will help to identify the genuine species and check for adulteration of powder available commercially.
