The intracellular enzyme activities ofChlorophyllum molybditis (Mayerex. Fr.) Massee andCortinarius melliolens Fries were determined at different stages of sporophore maturity. In both mushroom species, total amylase, α-amylase, proteinase, lipase, peroxidase, catalase and polyphenol oxidase activities were increased with sporophore maturity. In contrast, glucose-6-phosphatase activity was higher in the young sporophore than in very young and mature ones. All the enzymes assayed except cellulase and β-amylase showed greater activity in the pilei than in the stipes.C. molybditis showed greater total amylase, α-amylase, cellulase, proteinase, catalase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities thanC. melliolens.
