The mycelial growths of wood-decaying mushroom strains collected from Korean forests were investigated on solid media under different culture media and temperatures. Most of strains showed the higher mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) than malt extract agar (MEA) or sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates. Except for a few strains, they grew well on PDA at $25^{\circ}C$ and showed a poor growth at low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$) than high temperature ($30^{\circ}C$). All strains showed the carboxymethylcellulase (CM-cellulase) and laccase activities on solid media containing the specific substrates for two different enzymes.

The mycelial mass of K. mutabilis greatly increased at pH 5.5~6.0 but decreased pH 6.0. The linear mycelial growth wsa mostly supported on sawdust of Quercus accutisima and the mycelial density wsa high on sawdust of Q. accutisima and corn cob. Much mycelial distribution could be showen in ray parenchyma cell and ray tracheid. Severe degradation of ray parenchyma cell was found but little degradation of ray tracheid cell was found. The dry weight loss wsa 5.9% after agar-block test. And the pH wsa acidified from 6.07 to 4.31 and hot water extractives was decreased after degradation of Q. serrata sawdust by K. mutabilis.

As a result of advenced research, Penicillium growth inhibition effect in media of cauliflower mushroom by different LED lighting color inhibited all treated groups, but blue wavelength treatment group was unfitted for culture of cauliflower mushroom due to lots of spore of penicillium. So, to investigated characteristics of mycelial growth of cauliflower mushroom according to different LED wavelength and LED wavelength color. As a results, all red wavelength treatment groups found highest mycelial growth tendency. Thus, mycelial growth investigated different quantity of red lighting wavelength conditions. The quantity of lighting wavelength was low intention, 1.41 ${\mu}mol/m^2S$ treatment group found highest mycelial growth. Effects of mycelial growth by subculture found difference of statistical in one time to carry out a subculture treatment group. Mycelial growth by different quantity of LED lighting in different media composition of wood chip media indicated highest trend in the Korean pine treatment groups. To cultured treatment group for 84th days found difference of statistical, when a quantity of LED lighting red wavelength 2.11 ${\mu}mol/m^2S$ treated in wood chip of the Korean pine media. In conclusion, good culture condition of cauliflower mushroom estimated quantity of red lighting wavelength 2.11 ${\mu}mol/m^2S$ in wood chip media of the Korean pine for 84th days.

Pleurotus ferulae is an edible mushroom found on a medicinal plant, Ferula assa-foetida, in centeral China. This study was carried out to investigate the cultural characteristics of P. ferulae strains. Characteristics of mycelial growth were investigated for 5 strains of P. ferulae. All the 5 strains showed the best mycelial growth at $25^{\circ}C$ and their growth rate was very low at $35^{\circ}C$. The colony diameter reached to 45~72 mm after 7 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Malt extract agar medium was the best for mycelial growth of the species both in hyphal length and density. Mycelial growth was not affected by various pH from 6.0 to 8.0. An optimal carbon source was arabinose and an optimal nitrogen one was arginine. And an effective substrate for the mycelial growth was 8 to 2 mixture of oak sawdust and cottonseed meal.

This research was carried out to clarify the feasibility of using the banana leaf and stalk and water hyacinth by substrate of oyster mushroom. The 100% cotton, water hyacinth, banana leaf and stalk was used as a mushroom media respectively. The growth of fungi was observed after 15 days and showed 115mm in the cottonseed hull, 80mm in the water hyacinth, and 72mm in the banana leaf and stalk. In the mixed substrate that added water hyacinth to cottonseed hull with the rate of 20, 50, 80% the growth was observed with 115, 103, 62mm respectively. In case of the banana mixed substrate the results was appeared with 106, 89, 78mm respectively. In the pure substrate the cottonseed hull's mycelial growth was the fastest and in the case of mixed substrate with water hyacinth 20% and cotton 80% was the fastest growth.

In this study, the effect of different substrates of agricultural by-products on the mycelial growth rate and density of Trametes versicolor (Turkeytail mushroom) was analyzed. We found that pepper stem and rice bran with a mixing ratio of 9:1(v/v) produced the best mycelial growth of 101 mm in 10 days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 resulted in mycelial growth of 83 mm in 10 days. The control group treated with a 9:1 mixing ratio of oak sawdust and rice bran (v/v) produced mycelial growth of 74 mm in 10 days. The following results are in the order of beanstalk, sesame stem, and perilla stem. After the harvest of the mushrooms, the mycelial growth rate and the density of T. versicolor in each substrate were as follows the group with waste substrate of Pleurotus eryngii and rice bran with a mixing ratio of 9:1(v/v) produced the best result of 76 mm in days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 produced of 61 mm in 10 days. The control group with a 9:1 ratio of oak sawdust and rice bran produced mycelia of 74 mm in 10 days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 resulted in mycelia of 59 mm in10 days.

The fruiting body of Paecilomyces sinclairii was collected in Baekyangsa, Jeollanam-Do, Korea. Cultural conditions for the mycelial growth and fruiting body formation were investigated. Its optimum mycelial growth was obtained at 25℃ and pH 8 on potato dextrose agar and Hamada media among the various media tested. The carbon and nitrogen sources for the optimum mycelial growth were dextrin and glutamine, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was about 20:1 in case that 1% glucose was supplemented to the basal medium as a carbon source. The favorable mycelial growth was obtained from corn meal extract medium mixed with 30% (w/v) milk solution. The maximum fruiting body was formed in unpolished rice medium supplemented with 20% (w/w) silkworm pupae at $25^{\circ}C$ under 500lux.

Effects of buprofezin, an inhibitor of chitin synthesis, on mycelial growth, protoplast formation and reversion of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. sajor-caju were investigated. The mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. sajor-caju was the inhibited by buprofezin treatment, and the inhibition rate was severer as the concentration of the buprofezin increased. Aerial mycelium formation was increased by buprofezin treatment, but mycelial morphology was not changed. Protoplast formation of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. sajor-caju. was significantly increased when buprofezin was added to the culture medium at the concentration of 200~500 ppm and the protoplast reversion of the mushrooms was also increased by the treatment of the buprofezin.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of water content in mushroom substrate, paddy straw, and the mycelial growth of oyster mushroom by various soaking time. The water content of paddy straw was gradually increased as the soaking time was getting longer. These experiments also showed that the water content in the upper part of paddy straw was less than that of the low part. The mycelial growth was the good between 4 and 12 hours soaking treatment, showing faster growth and higher density in the lower part than the upper part. However we could not found any significant variation among 5 strains of oyster mushroom in the effects of the various soaking times and soaking part. The pH of the lower part substrates had a low pH compared with that of the upper part. When pathogens and mushroom mycelia were co-inoculated on paddy straw under various soaking conditions, the mushroom mycelial growth showed fast and high density according to the increase of the soaking time. The experiment related to water transport reveals that it is not easy to move into upper part, but only soaked part by adding water is available to absorb enough water. Old straw was much better than the straw new this year one for water absorption, mycelial growth and mycelial density.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic data on artificial culture of Phellinus linteus. The optimum condition for the mycelial growth was $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and pH $6.0{\sim}7.0$. The carbon sources such as D-glucose, D-mannose and Dextrose were favorable to mycelial growth. As nitrogen sources, peptone, cassamino acid and glutamic acid appeared to be favorable. The optimum C/N ratio was about 20:1, when 2% of glucose was provided as a carbon source. The better organic acids and vitamin among tested ones were gallic, silicic acids and biotin. The mineral nutrients of $KH_2PO_4,\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O,\; MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O,\;ZnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ were effective and the optimum concentrations were 0.05, 0.001, 0.02 and 0.003%, respectively.
