Sodam oyster mushroom(Pleurotus ostreatus were bred in Mushroom Research Institute, Gyonggi Province A.R.E.S in 2002. Sodam oyster mushroom were bred and cultivated one after mating single spores collected from Aenutari 1-ho and Suhan 1-ho. The major characteristics of the mushroom are showing a lot of pinheadings, the gray-colored and shallow cornhead-shaped pileus. Around 20 days at $20^{\circ}C$ were required for incubation of Sodam and the yield was shown high by 148.2g/bottle. As the activity of hypha is so strong, the proper time of pinheading is demanded.

F. velutipes Leu 2 gene (${\beta}-isopropylmalate$ dehydrogenase gene) was used for transformation of P. florida leucine requiring auxotrophic mutant P101. Transformation frequency was very low but the transformed colony can grow on minimal medium very slowly. Transformation was identified by Southern hybridization and reverse transformation into E. coli using chromosome DNA isolated from transformed P. florida.

Electrophoretic isozyme patterns from mycelia, primordia, cap and stem of Pleurotus spp. collected in Korea were compared. Primordia, cap and stem of fruitbody showed very similar isozyme patterns but mycelial isozyme patterns were different from those of fruitbody. Isozyme patterns of malate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase in Pleurotus ostreatus collected from different regions in Korea were similar but those of esterase, peroxidase, leucine amino peptidase and superoxide dismutase were different. Interspecific comparison of esterase isozyme patterns among Pleurotus ostreatus P. cornucopiae and, P. florida was very different and may be valuable subsidiary tool to conventional taxonomic techniques for identifying species of Pleurotus. A dendrogram by similarities of isozyme band pattern was presented.

Nutritional and functional components, such as approximate, and volatile flavor compounds, ergosterol and proximate analysis of artificially cultivated Neolentinus lepideus were analyzed. The common elements of N. lepideus were analyzed to have 6.3% crude ash, 19.1% crude protein, 1.9% crude fat, and 8.9% crude fiber, respectively. The volatile flavor compounds of N. lepideus were characterized as 3-Octanone, 3-Octanol and 1-Octanol. The ergosterol content of N. lepideus was shown to be 145.9 ppm.

Physiological functions of oyster mushroom Kimchi were investigated. Oyster mushroom Kimhies were found to have antioxidant activities. The effect was in a dose-dependent manner, the effect was higher in oyster mushroom Kimchies than in control and higher in raw oyster mushroom Kimchi (ROMK) than in blanched oyster mushroom Kimchi (BOMK). Methanol extract of Kimchi revealed antimutagenic activity and suppressed growth of cancer cell in a dose-dependent manner, and the effects were higher in ROMK than in other Kimchies. The methanol extracts of oyster mushroom Kimchi alone did not appear proliferation effect of spleenic immune cell, but revealed the effect with Con A. The proliferation effect was higher in ROMK than in BOMK.

Pleurotus eryngii is one of the most widely cultivated and important edible mushrooms. However, the shelf life of the fruiting body is short, which. To solve this problem, a new cultivar, DanBi 5Ho, of Pleurotus eryngii was developed by mono-mono crossing between monokaryotic strains derived from KNR2598 and KNR2610. The optimum temperature formycelial growth was 25 and that forfruiting body development was 15-16. The quality did not change after a period of 40.0 d at 4. This result was significantly different compared to that ofthe control strain Knneuari 2 Ho. Analysis of genetic characteristics of the new hybrid strain DanBi 5Ho revealeda different profile thanthat of the parental and control strains when random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers we used. The results obtained from this study show that DanBi 5Ho is a new hybrid strain, characterized by improved storability after harvesting.

Mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) have been used as traditional remedies as well as food sources. This study particularly used an extract of Pleurotus ostreatus among many other mushrooms for research to figure out the antioxidant activity and an effect of cytotoxin. The result of antioxidative effect was significantly increased at the high concentration. The otal contents of polyphenol and flavonoid were $30.2{\pm}0.7$ and $20.4{\pm}0.6$ respectively. Both reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activities are highest at 5.0 mg/mL of concentration. According to the research about cytotoxin of normal cell, an extract of Pleurotus ostreatus showed no existence of toxicity based on 80.5% of viability. Meanwhile, Pleurotus ostreatus is not strongly effective on the growth of cancer cell, indicating anti-cancer effect has a quite high range of viability up to $70.0{\pm}5.3%$ in 5 mg/mL of concentration.

In order to improve the functional benefits and storage properties of soybean tofu, fermented tofu was developed using Pleurotus eryngii mycelia. The immune activities of water and methanol extracts of the tofu were investigated. The optimal medium for the growth of Pleurotus eryngii mycelia was PD broth medium and the optimal fermentation period for the tofu was 7 days. The water and methanol extracts of the fermented tofu induced the proliferation of spleen cells at above $0.01 {\mu}g/mL$. The water extract increased IL-2, IFN-$\gamma$ production, while the methanol extract increased IFN-$\gamma$ synthesis. The water and methanol extracts of the fermented tofu induced the NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells at above $1 {\mu}g/mL$ and above $10 {\mu}g/mL$ concentration, respectively. The extracts also significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$ and GM-CSF in the cells. These results suggest that the tofu fermented with Pleurotus eryngii mycelia could be developed as a functional tofu.

Antioxidative components and activities of the extracts from Pleurotus ostreatus extracted at different ethanol concentration were analyzed and their correlation were investigated. Ergothioneine, total phenolic compounds, and flavonoid contents of the extracts from P. ostreatus extracted with hot water (0% ethanol) were the highest ($2.98{\pm}0.05$, $9.51{\pm}0.45$, and $2.83{\pm}0.03mg/g$, respectively) and the contents were decreased according to increase of ethanol concentration for extraction. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of the extracts from P. ostreatus extracted with hot water were the highest ($80.41{\pm}0.56$ and $91.47{\pm}0.11%$, respectively). FRAP value also showed the highest reducing power by $8.86{\pm}0.33\;FeSO_4\;eq$. mM in hot water extracts. Positive correlations were found between ergothioneine contents and antioxidative active components and antioxidant activity of the extracts from P. ostreatus. Results indicate that hot water extraction was most efficient for the extracts with high antioxidative activities from P. ostreatus.

Bottle cultivation was conducted to clarify varietal differences and physiological characteristics of oyster mushroom under different temperatures. Mushroom pinheading and yield in each temperature showed different results according to the strains. Specially, Weonhyeong3-ho could not sprout over $16.5^{\circ}C$, but after pinheading at $13^{\circ}C$, its fruitbody was able to grow normally at all tested temperatures. Sambok, a high temperature strain, sprouted at $10^{\circ}C$ and then withered up. Fruitbody of this strain obtained at $13^{\circ}C$ could not grow normally at $10^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ conditions. Colour of fruitbodies turned close to white at high temperature. On the other hand, at low temperature, strains with gray fruitbody changed close to black and those with brown fruitbody turned to dark brown. With regards to fruiting trait, pinheading aspects were good even at low temperature. Those were, however, uneven and sprouted in patches and resulted in low quality and productivity as the temperature increased. When black fruitbody at $13^{\circ}C$ were moved to $23^{\circ}C$ and then to $13^{\circ}C$ again, colour of fruitbody turned to white and then recovered to blackish gray. These results confirmed that the colour of fruitbody responds to cultivation temperature.
