  • Dactylella pseudoclavata that captures nematodes in adhesive networks was isolated from nematode-infested strawberry plants from Andong, Korea. It produces obclavate, 0-1 septate conidia, $30-40{\mu}m$ long and $8-11{\mu}m$ wide, with round distal ends and bases shaped like bottle-necks. The conidiophores were simple, occasionally branched, $150-300{\mu}m$ long, producing 1-4 conidia at the apex. Chlamydospores were abundant, intercalary or catenulate, yellowish to brown, globate or subglobate, wart on the surface, $30-35{\times}25-30{\mu}m$ in size. This is the first report of Dactylella pseudoclavata in Korea.

  • The ability of Ganoderma to produce extracellular enzymes, including ${\beta}$-glucosidase, cellulase, avicelase, pectinase, xylanase, protease, amylase, and ligninase was tested in chromogenic media. ${\beta}$-glucosidase showed the highest activity, among the eight tested enzymes. In particular, Ganoderma neo-japonicum showed significantly stronger activity for ${\beta}$-glucosidase than that of the other enzymes. Two Ganoderma lucidum isolates showed moderate activity for avicelase; however, Ganoderma neojaponicum showed the strongest activity. Moderate ligninase activity was only observed in Ganoderma neo-japonicum. In contrast, pectinase, amylase, protease, and cellulase were not present in Ganoderma. The results show that the degree of activity of the tested enzymes varied depending on the Ganoderma species tested.

  • Auricularia auricula-judae is an edible mushroom, which is known as wood ear, free ear, black ear mushroom, and free jelly fish. Present experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of artificial cultivation with oak sawdust of A. auricula-judae. The duration of mycelial growth and days of pinhead formation on oak sawdust bag (1.4 kg) were 29~32 days and 13~17 days, respectively. The yield of fresh fruit-body was 275~350 g.
