In this study, antifungal effects of some Lamiaceae species (Thymbra spicata L. Satureja hortensis L., Origanum onites L., O. vulgare L. subsp. hirtum (Link) Iestswaart, O. vulgare L. subsp vulgare, O. minutiflorum O. Schwarz & P. H. Davis, Sideritis vuralii H. Duman & Baser and S. caesarea H. Duman, Aytac, & Baser) commonly used by people, were investigated. To determine the antifungal effects, the aerial parts of plant methanol extracts were tested against four fungal species, Aspergillus flavus Link., A. niger Raper, and Fennel, A. ochraceus K. Wilh., and Fusarium proliferatum (Matsushima) Nirenberg. Three plant species, O. vulgare subsp. hirtum, O. minutiflorum, and T. spicata, methanol extracts showed antifungicidal activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.6 mg/ml against four potential mycotoxigenic fungi. The results were evaluated using statistical tests.
