This study was carried out to investigate optimum wind velocity for growth of Pleurotus ostreatus. In the chamber experiments, the divergence of pileus was $63^{\circ}$ in 0.3m/s, and it showed the tendency that the more the air velocity was increased, the more the divergence became small. And the ratio of commercial yields was 96% in the air velocity of 0.3m/s. In the cultivation room experiments, the divergence of pileus was $64^{\circ}$ in 0.3m/s, and it was the tendency that the more the air velocity was fast, the more the divergence became larger. And the commercial yields was similar to the trend of the chamber experiment as 94.8% in 0.3m/s, and the quality characteristics of the fruit-body showed the uniform quality in comparison with other treatment because the standard deviation of the size of the pileus, etc. was the lowest in 0.3m/s like the chamber experiment.

Light plays an important role in fruit-body development and morphology during Pleurotus spp. cultivation. To understand the effects of light color on fruit-body properties, we evaluated the fruit-body characteristics of Pleurotus spp. Varieties cultivated under blue, red, and purple LED light sources. The main results are as follows: The overall fruit-body shape showed differences depending on the color of the LED light. The fruit-bodies of mushroom cultivated under blue and purple light were generally similar to the mushroom shapes typically produced, while those of mushroom cultivated under green light were abnormally shaped, probably due to the absence of effective light source. The average cap lightness of mushrooms cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED lights was 57.0, 57.4, and 59.4, respectively. The average cap lightness of all varieties except Wonhyeong1ho and Hwang-geumsantari cultivated under the three LED light sources were statistically significantly different (P<0.05). The cap redness varied significantly depending on the LED lighting and variety. Only Gonji7hoM, the cap color mutant of Gonji7ho, showed negative cap redness values under all three LED light sources. Among the eight varieties excluding Gonji7ho, the highest cap redness was observed when cultivated under the blue LED. The average harvest weight of the varieties cultivated under purple, blue, and green LED light were 68.0, 58.3, and 50.1 g, respectively. The yield of Gonji7ho, the mushroom variety with the highest yield, cultivated under blue, green, and purple LED light were 92.8, 77.1, and 98.6 g, respectively. The earliness when grown under the purple, blue, and green LED lights were 5.3, 5.8, and 5.8 days, respectively. Among the varieties, six, three, and two cultivars showed the shortest earliness under the purple, green, and blue LED, respectively. The fruit-body lengths were 66.4, 51.8, and 46.8 mm when cultivated under green, purple, and blue lights, respectively. These results are expected to serve as a foundation for producing mushrooms with traits demanded in the market.

This study was carried out to elucidate suitable wavelength of light during development of fruit body in Lentinula edodes. The four colors of LED(Light Emitting Diode), blue, green, red and yellow, were irradiated for formation of fruit-body. The effect of color of LED at all growth stage, the lightness of cap showed darker in blue and green LED irradiation than that of red and yellow LED. The longer stipe were resulted in longer wavelength. And the activity of anti-oxidant did not showed big differences according to LED wavelength. We obtained higher commercial yields and lower ratio of abnormal fruit body in green LED than those in control(fluorescent lamp).

The effects of $CO_2$ concentration on fruit-body formation and yield of Pleurotus ferulae (KME65003) mushroom were examined in the growing facilities for bottle cultivation. The $CO_2$ concentration levels in the growing facilities were 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm and 2000 ppm of $CO_2$, controlled by different ventilation amount. Yield of fruit body was highest of 102.4 g/bottle at 1000 ppm treatment and lowest of 75.1 g/bottle at 2000 ppm. As the $CO_2$ concentration increased up to 2000 ppm, the first pinhead formation and fruit-body growing period took longer, so total growing period took 16 days at 500 ppm, but 23 days at 2000 ppm. The number of pinhead formation was highest of 12.2/bottle at 1500 ppm and valid stipes was highest of 2.8/bottle at 1000 ppm. Fruit body characteristics such as pileus and stipe diameter, and stipe length were not significant at different $CO_2$ concentration. The fruit body ratio of 20~50 g range among the whole fruit body which was classified by weight was highest of 60.3% at 1000 ppm. As a result, the suitable $CO_2$ concentration of growth and yield of Pleurotus ferulae was showed as 1000 ppm.

A edible mushroom, Hypsizygus marmoreus is commercially cultivated. However, the researches of cultivation and physiological characteristics were not conducted in Korea. In this study, we conducted on artificial cultivation of H. marmoreus and elucidated the effect of light on the mycelial growth and fruit body development using LED light sources with different wavelength; blue (peak wave length 460nm), green(peak wave length 530nm), yellow(peak wave length 590nm), red(peak wave length 630nm), and white as positive control. Mycelial growth of H. marmoreus strains were inhibited about 30~40% in inhibition ratio under the illumination with blue, green, yellow LED light. However, red LED light was not inhibited. Elongation of stipe was effective under the long wave length such as yellow and red light. Abnormal fruit body was produced under the long wavelength and dark. However, development of pileus was effective under the short wavelength such as green and blue light. Also, as a result of cultivation with mixed light for high quality and harvest, many effective numbers and yields of fruiting bodies were obtained in the mixed treatment of blue and white light, and pileus developed well.

This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of polysaccharides isolated from the fruit body and cultured mycelia of Phellinus linteus IY001. All fractions were extracted by hot water, followed by ethanol precipitation (F-THE and M-HE) or ultrafiltration (M-HU) (F-TH, F-THE; fruit body, M-HE, M-HU; cultured mycelia). Among these fractions, F-TH fraction was obtained at the highest yields of 6.83% and yield of F-THE was at the level 2.79%. The carbohydrates of these fractions was found to be a heteroglucan composed of glucose, galactose, mannose, fructose, ribose and xylose by analysis of gas chromatography. The total carbohydrate contents of M-HE and M-HU fractions were 99.2%, and 86.0% respectively. The glucose content of M-HE, M-HU and F-THE ranged from 54 to 84.8% of the total monosaccharide. Amino acid pattern showed that all fractions contained a large amount of aspartic acid, glycine, glutamic acid, alanine. Serine and threonine were found to be involved in the linkage, O-linked type. These fractions, except F. TH, contained polysaccharides with the molecular weights of 12 kD and showed the characteristics of IR absorption for ${\beta}-glucosides$ at $890\;cm^{-1}$.
