ABSTRACT
The activity of enzymes involved in the rotting action of Mango tree wood (log) by a fungus- Clytocybe multiceps, was
studied .The degradation of cell wall was the main decaying change or the first step in the process of decaying which was
brought about by the action of proteolytic enzymes in association with pectinolytic and cellulolytic enzymes.
Key words : Clytocybe multiceps, Decay, Mango tree, Protease enzyme, Wood rotting fungus.
