Some Experiments on the Cultivation of Straw Mushroom, Volvariella volvacea (Bull. ex Fr.) Sing. in Korea

한국(韓國)에 있어서 풀버섯[Volvariella volvacea(Bull. ex Fr.) Sing.] 재배(栽培)에 관(關)한 몇가지 시험(試驗)

Present experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of cultivation of tropical and subtropical saprophytic fungus, Volvariella volvacea (Bull. ex Fr.) Sing. under Korean climatic conditions and the-possibility of applying the method of indoor cultivation which was modified from the cultivation method of the common mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing.. The results obtained were as follows: 1. In conventional outdoor cultivation, the adequate cultivation period of this fungus was from around the end of June to the end of August. 2. When rice straws submerged in water for 5 days were peak-heated for 6 days in a mush room house, the yield of the fungus was higher than that obtained from the rice straws peak-heated immediately after outdoor composting. 3. The highest yield, 20.49kg per 100kg rice straws, was obtained from the water-soaked and peak-heated rice straws which were cased with a 2 cm layer of loam at 7 days after spawning.

본(本) 시험(試驗)은 우리나라에서 열대(熱帶)및 아열대(亞熱帶) 지방(地方)에서 재배(栽培)되고 있는 풀버섯[Volvariella volvacea(Bull. ex Fr.) Sing.]의 재배(栽培) 가능성(可能性)및 다수확방법(多收穫方法)을 구명(究明)코자 실시(實施)되었다. 1. 우리나라에 있어서 재배적기(栽培適期)는 6월말경(月末頃)부터 8월말(月末)의 2개월(個月) 내외(內外)의 기간(期間)이었다. 2. 볏짚은 5일간(日間) 수침(水浸)한 후 재배사내(栽培舍內)에서 정열(頂熱)($60^{\circ}C$. 6시간(時間))후(後) $55^{\circ}C$ 내외(內外)에서 6일간(日間) 후발효(後醱酵)한 것이 야외퇴적(野外堆積)한 후 후발효(後醱酵)시킨 것보다 증수(增收)되었다. 3. 5일간(日間) 수침(水浸)한 볏짚을 6일간(日間) 후발효(後醱酵)하여 배지(培地)를 만들고 종균접종(種菌接種) 7일(日) 후(後)에 양토(壤土)로서 복토(覆土)하였을 때 볏짚 100kg당 20.49kg으로 가장 높은 수량(收量)을 얻을 수 있었다.
