In this study, to select suitable shiitake strains in Jangheung region for domestic strains of Lentinula edodes for log cultivation, a total of five different Korean strains(Chunbaegko, Sanjo 303ho, Poongnyunko, Baekhwahyang, Soohyangko) and two Japanese strains (Mori 290, Moriyujiro) were selected and a cultivation test was conducted to select suitable strains. As a result of the yield, Sanjo 303ho produced 40.9 kg, which was superior to 39.2 kg for Mori 290 and 37.7 kg for Moriyujiro. As for the quality characteristics, it was confirmed that Baekhwahyang had a hemispherical shape, and high quality fruit bodies. In conclusion, Sanjo 303ho, which has excellent production, and Baekhwahyang, which is advantageous for producing high-quality shiitake, were selected in Jangheung region for domestic strains.

Lignin degrading enzymes from Lentinula edodes have broad substrate specificities, and therefore can degrade a variety of recalcitrant compounds. In this study, the lignolytic biodegradation was investigated in five different L. edodes fungi (Chunbaegko, Sanjo 303ho, Poongnyunko, Baekhwahyang, and Soohyangko). The fungi were evaluated for their ability to decolorize Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) in malt extract broth medium. Sanjo 303ho, Poongnyunko, Baekhwahyang, and Soohyangko rapidly decolorized RBBR within 7 days. The activities of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase were determined in the absence and presence of lignin. Poongnyunko displayed the highest ligninolytic activity on day 7 of incubation (2,809 U/mg and 2,230 U/mg for MnP and laccase, respectively).
