Abstract

The content of phenolic substances in freshly collected fruit bodies of several basidiomycete genera varied in the range 2·35–9·05 mg g−1, following closely the trend of a normal function.

It was necessary to use a polyphenoloxidase-inhibiting substance to obtain reliable analysis. The content of phenolics decreased, during 3 d at room temperature and following freezing at −20°C.
