Introduction:
The medicinal use of mushrooms has a very long tradition in the Asian countries, whereas their use in the Western hemi sphere has been slightly increasing only since the last decades.
The edition of the new scientific journal International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms (Begell house, Editor-in-Chief S. P. Wasser), several books and reviews about medicinal mushrooms (1–6) and biologically active compounds from mushrooms (7) as well as international conferences about this topic confirm this trend. The market value of medicinal mushrooms and their derivative dietary supplements world- wide was US $1.2 billion in 1991 (8) and was estimated to be US $6 billion in 1999 (9).
