Abstract
The photoprotective properties of ethanol extracts from fruiting bodies of cultivated macromycetes Hericium erinaceus, Lentinula edodes, Ganoderma lucidum, and Pleurotus ostreatus, and wild-growing Inonotus obliquus, Fomes fomentarius, Trichaptum biforme, and Ganoderma applanatum, were evaluated. The yield of extracts was 29.2%; 25.0%; 11.5% and 9.1% for H. erinaceus, L. edodes, G. lucidum and P. ostreatus, respectively; 16.5%; 2.6%; 2.3% and 5.1% for I. obliquus, F. fomentarius, T. biforme and G. applanatum, respectively. Ethanol extracts from the fruiting bodies of cultivated mushrooms had a low level of photoprotection in terms of SPF, with a score of λcrit = 3÷4, were excellent and most effective in terms of UV-A/UV-B. Extracts from the fruiting bodies of T. biforme and G. applanatum are not photoprotective: the first according to the criterion λcrit < 370 nm; the second is SPF < 15.0. The extract from F. fomentarius is photoprotective, the extract from I. obliquus is close to being photoprotective.
