Omphalotus subilludens is a fungus species in the genus Omphalotus. The type collection was found by Murrill on July 26, 1944, in Gainesville, Florida. It has also been recorded from Texas. [1]
Atromentin and thelephoric acid are chemical compounds found in cultures of O. subilludens.[2] Atromentin is an effective anticoagulant, and similar in biological activity to the well-known anticoagulant heparin.[3] Atromentin also possesses antibacterial activity, inhibiting the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (essential for the biosynthesis of fatty acids) in the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae.[4]
It also produces illudoids.[5]
