A total of 120 methanol and dichloromethane extracts, from 60 species of wood‐damaging fungi and 50 methanol/water extracts from macrofungi were screened for inhibition of pancreatic lipase using the chromogenic substrate p ‐nitrophenylpalmitate. Of the extracts screened, those from Laetiporus sulphureus , Tylopilus felleus and Hygrocybe conica exhibited the highest lipase inhibitory activities of 83% ± 5%, 96% ± 3% and 97% ± 5%, respectively.
