We studied the allelopathic effects of mushroom Pholiota (Fr.) P. Kumm. species on seed germination and seedlings growth of Cucumis sativus L. and Lepidium sativum L. The mycelium of Pholiota species suppressed the seed germination, shoot and root length of test plants and also changed the morphology of roots (pubescence, changes in lateral roots). The inhibition in sprout length was 8.6 %-87. 1 % in C. sativus and 42.2 %-91.8 % in L. sativum depending on Pholiota species. Allelopathic effects of Pholiota subochracea (A.H.Sm.) Hesler, drastically decreased the germination to 12.9 % than control.
