Many plants, animals, and microorganisms contain lectins, but relatively few studies have been conducted on lectins from mushrooms. Some lectins have been isolated from the fruiting bodies of Basidiomycetes fungi. Among the species studied are: Ischchnoderma resinosum lectin (IRA), Grifola fondosa lectin (GFL), Fomes fomentarius lectin (FFL), Ganoderma lucidum lectin (GLL), etc. Some properties of these lectins are presented in this paper.
