Abstract: Fungi in Phellinus genus,which belongs to the family Hymenochaetaceae,were used widely as medicinal mushroom.Phellinus fungus is recognized internationally as the highest efficient fungus in the field of biological cancer therapy,has aroused wide concern of scholars worldwidely.These fungi contian various kinds of chemical compounds,and the main compounds are terpenoids and pyranones.In addition,there are polysaccharides,steroidal compounds,flavonoids,furan derivatives,chlorinated metabolites and other species.So far,phytochemical studies have shown nearly 300 compounds.At present,the research on the fungi mainly concentrated on Sanghuang.This paper reviewed and summarized the chemical components since 2009,to provide the theoretical basis for the use of Phellinus.

Key words: Hymenochaetaceae, Phellinus genus, chemical components, Sanghuang
