A Comparative Analysis on Antioxidant Activity for Four Kinds of Lepista epiphyte

[Objective]The research aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of four kinds of Lepista epiphyte. [Method]The comparative analysis for anti-oxidant activity of fungi microwave water extracts of the four fragrant mushroom fruiting bodies was carried out. [Result]Fungi microwave water extracts of Lepista epiphyte,Lepista luscina,Lepista caespitosa,Lepista nuda and Lepista sordida showed significant clearance,which was 73. 0%,73. 0%,58. 6% and 73. 0% respectively to ·DPPH and 91. 0%,94. 8%,82. 3% and 91. 0% respectively to ·OH in the microwave processed water extract of their fruiting body. Moreover,the fruiting body extracts of the four kinds of fungus showed a clear effect on superoxide anion. [Conclusion] Fruiting body of four kinds of Lepista epiphyte might contain natural antioxidant substances.
