Abstract

In the current era, wild macrofungi are being focused for developing and overing novel bioactive compounds for the management of agricultural, horticultural, and other infectious diseases. In that view, current research work was designed to evaluate the biochemical composition and medicinal properties of <i>Morchella crassipes</i> mushroom. The mycochemical screening of aqueous extract exposed the incidence of glycosides, free amino acids and proteins, alkaloids, carbs, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds and tannins, except volatile oils, resins, steroids, and anthraquinones. However, hexane extract exhibited the occurrence of glycosides, alkaloids, volatile oils, steroids and terpenoids while as all other phytochemicals were not detected. The gas chromatography mass spectrometry profiling has disclosed the identification of three predominant naturally occurring bioactive volatile monoterpenoids, namely neral, citral, and epoxy-linalool oxide with well-known biological activities. The methanolic extract resulted in strong antifungal efficacy against the tested fungal strains such as <i>Penicillium chrysogenum</i> (20.33 &#177; 0.57 mm) followed by <i>Pythium ultimum</i> (15.33 &#177; 0.76 mm) and <i>Aspergillus niger</i> (12.50 &#177; 0.50 mm) at highest concentrations. Likewise, marked antibacterial effects were reported in case of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (15.16 &#177; 0.76 mm), followed by <i>Salmonella gallinarum</i> (14.33 &#177; 0.57 mm) and <i>Escherichia coli</i> (13.66 &#177; 0.57 mm), respectively. This data may offer baseline information regarding the bioactive metabolites and opening new ways for conducting trails to find natural management strategies to combat multi drug resistant pathogens in horticulture, agriculture, and aquaculture.
