Abstract
A screening test for phenoloxidases from edible mushrooms was done on potat o dextrose agar plates that contained phenolic chemicals. Many edible mushr ooms showed positive reactions on the agar plates. Among them, Auricularia auricula-judae, Clitocybe nebularis, Lentinus edodes, Pholiota aurivella, a nd Pseudohiatula oshimae produced a considerable amount of phenoloxidases, and these enzymes showed maximum activities in the acidic pH region.
