Wild mushrooms are considered one of the important sources of many bioactive compounds with different therapeutic properties. Agrocybe praecox is one of the mushrooms found in Iraqi forest habitats. In the present investigation, the presence of some phenolic compounds such as ferulic, gallic acid, quercetin, rutin, and falalic acid was detected in A. praecox extracts. To reveal the potential antifungal ability of A. praecox extracts for some yeasts isolated from sputum of patients with asthma and allergic bronchitis which were Candida. albicans , C. lipolytica, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. lusittaniae, Cryptococcus laurentii and C. gattii, ethanolic extract gave the highest results in inhibiting growth, and the inhibition rate increased with increasing concentration to reach the highest level in concentration.
