Abstract
A birch fungus, Piptoporus betulinus, is judged the mushroom with economical value that produces the fruiting body on Betula trees, but the mushroom rarely occurs in Korean birch forest. So, the fungus was applied to log cultivation for the production of fruiting body on Betula davurica. The fungus produce the fruiting bodies in the early August of the next year after inoculation in April and its mushroom matured in October. The mushroom produced 212 g to 1,298 g fresh weight in one or two mushrooms per a log. Thus, it is considered that log cultivation of the fungus has a potential to mass production of fruiting body and is expected to introduce to more researches to develop the use of this mushroom.
