Comparative Study on the Sawdust Cultivation and the Antioxidants of Hericium spp.

As a preliminary study in order to develop new varieties of Hericium species, this study was carried out to investigate the optimal temperature for mycelial growth, to figure out the applicability to sawdust cultivation on Quercus mongolica substrate, and to analyze the antioxidant capacity of ergothioneine and polyphenols in Hericium strains preserved in Korea Forest Research Institute (KFRI). In the results of optimal temperature for mycelial growth of eight Hericium erinaceus, it was $20^{\circ}C$ in a strain (KFRI 842), $25^{\circ}C$ in five strains (KFRI 507, 508, 509, 843, 845), and $30^{\circ}C$ in two strains (KFRI 582, 844). Optimal temperature for mycelial growth of H. coralloides (KFRI 713) was $25^{\circ}C$. Four strains (KFRI 508, 843, 844, 713) out of the total nine Hericium strains showed full mycelium growth within 20 days at the optimal temperature on PDA medium in petri-dish (85 mm in diameter). The other strains have need of more time for full mycelium growth. Mushroom production of H. erinaceus ranged from 215 to 384 g of fresh weight and its dry weight was 7 to 9% of it, whereas that of H. coralloides was 299 g of fresh weight and its dry weight was 10% of it. The contents of ergothioneine and polyphenols of H. erinaceus strains were different by strains and those were in the range of $1.6{\sim}3.7$ mg/g dw. and $5.9{\sim}7.8$ mg/g dw., respectively. On the other hand, those of H. coraloides were in the range of 1.7 mg/g dw. and 3.9 mg/g dw., respectively. From the results of correlation ($R^2$ = 0.1) between ergothioneine and polyphenols in the strains, it was found that the total contents of them differ by strains but the ratio of the two compounds was not very different in the strains.

노루궁뎅이버섯류의 톱밥재배와 항산화물질 비교 연구

신품종 개발을 위한 예비조사로써 본 연구는 국립산림과학원에서 보존중인 노루궁뎅이류의 균주를 이용하여 균사생장을 위한 최적온도, 신갈나무에 톱밥재배, 황산화 활성물질인 ergothioneine와 polyphenols에 대해 조사하였다. 노루궁뎅이의 균사생장 최적온도는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 KFRI 842, $25^{\circ}C$에서 5개 균주(KFRI 507, 508, 509, 843, 845), $30^{\circ}C$에서 2균주(KFRI 582, 844) 이었다. 산호침버섯의 균사생장 최적온도는 $25^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 노루궁뎅이류 9개 균주중 4개(KFRI 508, 843, 844, 713)는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 20일내에 직경 85 mm의 페트리디쉬 PDA 배지를 채웠다. 그리고 나머지 균주들은 페트리디쉬를 채우는데 더 많은 시간이 필요하였다. 노루궁뎅이의 버섯 생산량은 $149{\sim}205$ g 범위 이었고 자실체 건물율은 $7{\sim}9%$ 이었다. 산호침버섯은 261 g 이었고 건물율은 10% 이었다. 노루궁뎅이의 ergothioneine과 polyphenols는 $1.6{\sim}3.7$ mg/g과 $5.9{\sim}7.8$ mg/g 이었고, 균주별로 차이가 있었다. 산호침버섯은 1.7mg/g의 ergothioneine과 3.9mg/g의 polyphenols를 함유하고 있었다. Ergothioneine과 polyphenols은 균주 간 두 성분의 함량 차이는 나타났으나 함량비는 차이가 없었다($R^2$= 0.1).
