Abstract: The main components of mucilage from Pholiota nameko mushroom were analysed by the methods of quantitative and qualitative analy. The results indicated that the mucilage contained three kinds of components, namely: protein (0.209%), DNA (1.315%) and polysaccharides (2.231%). MTT tsets showed that the mucilage in vitro can stimulate the proliferation of rat spleen lymphocyte. This in vitro study suggested that the mucilage has the function on improving immunity power.
