To breed new superior strains, collected strains were characterized and then several white strains were selected as parents. Monokaryons from the parents were isolated and studied. All tested white strains showed same mating genotype. Growth rate of monokaryons were lower than collected dikaryons. New dikaryotic strains were derived from inbreeding method, which means mating between monokaryotic isolates from different white strains having same mating genotype. Some of them showed higher yields of fruitbody than their parents. Specially Fv 4-1 strain showed the best productivity. Furthermore some mating combination showed cytoplasmic effect, when they mated reciprocally.

Two strains which have good traits in quality and speedy growing were selected based on previous report(Ryu, 2007) to breed a new strain carrying the traits in it. KNR2322 carrying high quality and KNR2503 carrying a speedy growing trait were cultivated to harvest monokaryons. The monokaryotic mycelia were characterized in growth rate, color, and stability. Selfing of monokaryons from KNR2322 and crossing between KNR2322- and KNR2503-derived monokaryons were performed. Two parental lines, $KNR2322-4{\times}37-6{\times}12(B)$ showing thremmatological values in weight and quality, 68.5g and 6.5 and $KNR2322-30{\times}KNR2503-60(A)$ was harvested in 13.5 days after scraping old medium were selected. Crossing between A and B resulted in two high quality and speedy growing strain, A8B8 and A8B10. Their days for harvest after scraping, weight, and quality were 14.0 days, 88.8g and 92.7g, 7.0 and 7.1. Originality tests were conducted with genomic DNAs of A8B8 and Keuneutari 3ho(commercial strain) by DNA fingerprinting a confrontation culture. The results showed polymorphism and a inhibition line between them. It suggested that the new strain have originality from the commercial strain. A8B8 have been registered in Korea Seed and Variety Service with as "Saesongi 1ho".

A new commercial strain "Gumbit" of golden oyster mushroom was developed by hyphal anastomosis. It was improved with hybridization between monokaryotic strain derived from ASI 2295 and ASI 2703. The optimum temperature of mycelial growth and fruiting body development were $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and $19{\sim}24^{\circ}C$, respectively. The pileus was golden to brilliant yellow color. Commercial strain "Gumbit" was not as prolific as the more commonly cultivated Pleurotus ostreatus in the conversion of substrate mass to mushrooms. However, cultivator can save money for mushroom growing on high-temperature season as like summer in Korea. Since picking individual mushrooms is tedious and often damages the fragile fruiting bodies compared with other species of oyster mushrooms.

Oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus is bifactorial heterothallism. Single basidiospore isolates from fruiting bodies are homokaryotic and self-sterile. However, we found that homokaryons derived from some strains of P. ostreatus could develop fruiting bodies with two different types. One hundred and two isolates out of 155 monospore isolates formed fruiting bodies (65.8%). First group did not have only mature or sporulating fruiting bodies but also clamp connections, which initial isolate also did not present clamp connections (Abortive homokaryotic fruiting, AHF). Second group had developed fruiting bodies with clamp connections even though initial homokaryotic colony did not form clamp connections (Pseudo- homokaryotic fruiting, PHF). The mycelial colonies derived from PHF by tissue culture formed clamp connections, while mycelial colonies of AHF lacked them. We obtained 535 PHF and 79 AHF inter-strain hybrids among 8 strains of P. ostreatus by hyphal anastomosis. The fruiting body yield of PHF group is higher than that of AHF group in bottle cultivation. A preselection of single spore isolates for fertility would save labour in strain improvement of P. ostreatus.

A new commercial strain "Hambak" of Grifola frondosa was developed by di-mono crossing between dikaryon of ASI 9031 and monokaryotic strain derived from ASI 9021. It can be cultivated in plastic bottle and bag filled with oak and poplar sawdust substrate which supplemented with 15% rice bran or 10% corn bran. Improvement of cultivation methods was required for shortage of mycelium incubation period and management of humidity in growing room. The optimum temperature of mycelial growth was $25^{\circ}C$ and that of fruiting body development was $15{\sim}18^{\circ}C$. The color of pileus surface was brown and fine pores, whitish to cream-colored, were underside. Primordia formation of Hambak was two days faster than that of Yipsae 1. The yield was $97g/850m{\ell}$ bottle, a bunch of fruiting body was bigger and the quality was better than Yipsae 1.

The effects of medium, incubation temperature, incubation period, pH of medium and $CO_2$ ondition during mycelial growth were investigated to study the factors associated with the formation of oidia in Flammulina velutipes. Oidia formation was increased when mycelial growth was poor, while oidia formation was inhibited in optimum condition of mycelial growth. Mating type of oidia was investigated to examine the effect of oidia formation on dikaryotic strain. Di-mon matings between oidia strains and original dikaryotic strain were carried out. Monokaryotic strains derived from oidia showed only one genotype. Seventy percent among Dimon mating strains showed slow mycelial growth and low yield of fruit-body, but others showed similar or high mycelial growth and yields in comparision with original dikaryon strain. One strain from di-mon mating demonstrated some differences in isozyme band pattern.

To develop a new cultivar of King oyster mushroom white variety (Pleurotus ferulae), GW10-68 as parental strain was selected by the method of Di-mon crossing between monokaryotic strain ASI 2798-24 derived from ASI 2798 and dikaryotic strain ASI 2803. The GW10-95(ASI 2803 ${\times}$ ASI 2798-24) was shown the best cultural characteristics, selected to be a new cultivar and designed as 'Beesan No.2'. The 'Beesan No.2' was formed incompatibility line distinctly in the confrontation growth of parental strains ASI 2803, ASI 2798 and Beesan No.1. Analysis of the genetic characteristics of the new cultivar 'Beesan No.2' showed a different DNA profile as that of the control strains, ASI 2803, ASI 2798 and 'Beesan No.1', when RAPD(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) primer URP4 was used. The optimum temperature and pH arrange for mycelial growth were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH5~8, respectively. Fruiting body production per bottle was about 123.3 g. And also the stipe was long. This new cultivar 'Beesan No.2' of Pleurotus ferulae was characterized white-like variety of King oyster mushroom in the color of stipe, that was long and low yield compared to that of other cultuvar 'Beesan No.1'. We therefore expect that this new strain will increase of export and substitute cultivar of King oyster mushroom.

To develop a new cultivar of king oyster mushroom(Pleurotus eryngii), G09-21 as parental strain was selected by the method of Di-mon crossing between monokaryotic strain ASI 2824-21 derived from ASI 2824(Keunneutari No. 2) and dikaryotic strain ASI 2887(Aeryni 3). The Pe21-53(G09-21-10 x ASI 2844-9) was shown the best cultural characteristics, selected to be a new cultivar and designated as 'Seolsong'. The 'Seolsong' was distinctly formed incompatibility line in the confrontation growth of parental strains Keunneutari No. 2, Aeryni 3 and ASI 2844. Analysis of the genetic characteristics of the new cultivar 'Seolsong' showed a different DNA profile as that of the control strains, Keunneutari No. 2, Aeryni 3 and ASI 2844, when RAPD(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) primer URP4 was used. The optimum temperature and pH arrange for mycelial growth were $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5~8, respectively. This new cultivar 'Seolsong' of fruiting body production per bottle was about $131.4{{\pm}}43.1$ g which is about 102% quantity compared to that of other cultivar Keunneutari No. 2. And also the stipe is thick and long, but the number of available stipe is few. Particularly, it was tolerant of high moisture above 90% during the growth period after primodia formation. We therefore expect that this new strain will save of labor and cost of cultivation by without culling work.

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.
