title: Immunological study on the wall proteins of different fruiting portions in Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Kummer and Agaricus bisporus (Lge.) Sing.
abstract: Immunological techniques are useful to clarify the sistematic scheme utilized for mushrooms. By comparing the various fruiting portions, a different composition in protein was observed in the cell wall of spores, pileus and stipe. The differences were present both in Agaricus bisporus and in Pleurotus ostreatus. The results indicate that a well definite choice of the utilized portions is necessary for comparative studies. In the Basidiomycetes the meiospores represent the more useful development stage to carry out immunological comparisons.
