In this study, liquid culture of Trichloma matsutake mycelia was carried out to biomass production and its inhibitory effects on melanin biosynthesis were evaluated. This Trichloma matsutake mycelia extract inhibited 38.6% of tyrosinase activity at 100 ppm, which is higher than that of extracelluar medium at same dose. In addition, when 100 ppm of Trichloma matsutake mycelia extract treated to melan-a cells for 3 days, 19% of melanin production was reduced without cell toxicity. These results suggested that cultured Trichloma matsutake mycelia might be useful for skin depigmenting material.
