Lectin activity of extracts from 101 species of wild and cultivated edible, poisonous, and medicinal mushrooms was examined by using a hemagglutinating assay with human erythrocytes. Forty-six of the extracts caused hemagglutination. Sugar-binding specificities of the lectins were investigated by hemagglutination inhibition assay with various monosaccharides, disaccharides, and glycoproteins.
