Mushrooms have long been recongnized for their capacity to produce a wide array of bioactive compounds with notable antimicrobial properties, rendering them valuable for both culinary and medicinal applications across diverse cultures. This study aims to evaluate the bioactive compounds and antimicrobial properties of the medicinal Phellinus mushroom. Phytochemical analysis was performed utilizing colorimetric assays and precipitate formation techniques, which identified the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, sterols, terpenes, and tannins within the Phellinus species. Furthermore, antimicrobial screening of the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. These results indicate that the antimicrobial effects of the Phellinus mushroom can be attributed to its bioactive metabolites, highlighting its potential as a natural source of antimicrobial agents. Additionally, the integration of Phellinus mushrooms into agricultural practices may provide innovative strategies for pest management and soil health, capitalizing on their bioactive properties to enhance crop protection and promote sustainability.
