The aqueous extracts of Ganoderma lucidum 1900 (Curtis) P. Karst and Crinipellis schevczenkovi 31 Buchalo mycelia were investigated for skin wound healing activity in vivo using the excision wound healing model. The extracts were prepared by mixing of 100 mg of powdered mycelium of both mushrooms with 1 mL of sterile distilled water for injections. White albino mice line FVB/Cg., 3 months of age (male), were used for the study. The rate of wound healing and the histology of healed wounds in mice have been studied. Visual method of wound study and histological investigation of skin tissue showed the presence of wound healing potential of G. lucidum and C. schevczenkovi mycelia. The wound healing process was expressed more active on 3th day in case of topical application of C. schevczenkovi mycelium extract, but on 5th day the wound healing effects of both mushroom extracts were almost at the same level and statistically better then results in the control group. Wounds treated with mycelial extracts were covered completely on the 6th day compared with 8th day in control group. Wound healing ability of C. schevczenkovi observed in present investigations for the first time.
