Abstract
The antioxidant activity of three basidiomycete namely Lentinus sp., Pleurotus aureovillosus and Schizophyllum commune were investigated by applying 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) radical cation decolourization assay method. The mycelial extracts of these three mushrooms showed better antioxidant activity by decolourizing the ABTS+ radicals. Among these three mushrooms, Lentinus sp. showed maximum decolourization of ABTS+ radicals.
