In this paper, we tested the antimicrobial potential of acetone extractof Lactarius volemus, an edible mushroom, applying the microdilution andantibiofilm assays. The extract was tested on six species of bacteria and sevenspecies of fungi. The results revealed that the extract possesses quite strongantimicrobial power, with MIC values ranging from 0.1 mg/ml to 0.8 mg/ml forbacteria and 1.62 mg/ml to 15 mg/ml for fungi. Antibiofilm assay showed that theextract had a strong negative impact on biofilm forming of Staphyloccous aureus. Asthe results of this study indicate, this mushroom could be used as a valuable foodsource and an important health promoting agent.
