PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a health food or a medicine which prevents and treats allergic symptoms, especially atopic dermatitis and has excellent safety. SOLUTION: The antiallergic agent, especially the antiallergic agent for atopic dermatitis comprises mycelium essence extracted from a mycelium culture of Basidiomycetes. The mycelium essence of Basidiomycetes is preferably mycelium essence of a basidiomycete which is obtained by inoculating the basidiomycete into a solid medium composed of bagasse as a base, then proliferating the mycelium to give a mycelium-containing solid medium, untying the solid medium, adding water and one or more kinds of enzymes selected from cellulase and protease to the untied solid medium while keeping the solid medium at 30-50°C, grinding and mashing the solid medium in the presence of the enzyme to extract the mycelium essence of the basidiomycete, then deactivating the enzyme and sterilizing the essence by heating the essence to 95°C. Lentinula edodes, Hericium erinaceum or Flammulina Velutipes is preferable as the basidiomycete. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a skin whitening agent which contains a Cortinellus shiitake mycelium extract and utilizes a skin whitening action of the Cortinellus shiitake mycelium extract. SOLUTION: This skin whitening agent contains the Cortinellus shiitake mycelium extract. The Cortinellus shiitake mycelium extract is obtained by inoculating Cortinellus shiitake mycelia in a solid culture medium containing bagasse as a main material, proliferating the mycelia, untying the obtained mycelium-containing solid culture medium, adding water and at least one enzyme selected from cellulase, glucosidase, and protease at 30 to 50 deg.C, crushing and mashing the solid culture medium in the presence of the added enzyme to extract L.E.M, and then heating the L.E.M at a temperature up to 95 deg.C to inactivate and sterilize the enzyme. The skin whitening agent may be used even in any of forms for an external application and internal application, is effective for maintaining the beauty and health of skins, does not produce a side effect, and is therefore excellent from the aspect of safety.
