Cordyceps species has been used as antiinflammatory, antitoxics, diuretics in folk remedies. Recent research has been reported the effect of anticancer, antidiabetic, antimutagenic, antilipid peroxidation, intestinal immune system modulating activity. Cordyceps pruinosa, which belongs to subgenus Eucordyceps of the Genus Cordyceps, Cordycopidaceae was observed in brown rice and bulled rice supplemented with milk. The activities of MeOH extract and its fraction from cultivated Cordyceps pruinosa on antifatigue activity induced by the mice forced swimming test were evaluated. Acute toxicity was investigated. The result revealed that BuOH and H₂O fractions showed significant antifatigue effect against immobilized stress. LD_(50) of each fraction was below 6g/kg.
