Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate quality characteristics and antioxidant effects on storage by temperature between new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom (Lentinula edodes GNA01) and button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). Methods: Dewdrop Pine Mushroom and button mushroom were prepared at low storage temperature. Results: Weight loss increased with time, whereas the new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom showed a decrease of less than 4% until 15days. Hardness of new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom was reduces less than button mushroom during storage. Color change of new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom was not altered during storage. For viable cell count, new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom proliferated less than button mushroom. For antioxidant activity, polyphenol content increased with storage period of both mushrooms. The electron-donating action of new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom maintained high antioxidant activity accounting for 80% until 12 days of storage. New cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom was evaluated as better than pine mushroom as it exceeded the middle of storage in sensory characteristics; such as appearance, color, aroma and overall acceptability, etc. Conclusion: In summary, new cultivar Dewdrop Pine Mushroom was stored for 12 days while button mushroom was stored for 9 days.

Since development of the first Korean button mushroom cultivar 'Sae-Ah' in 2010, mushroom farmers have demanded an improved cultivar. Although a new cultivar, 'Saejeong', was developed in 2011, this cultivar has thus far been difficult to cultivate in typical mushroom farms. To solve this problem, another new cultivar, 'Saedo', was developed in 2012. This new cultivar was selected by genetic analysis from crossing the heterokaryon line A175 and the homokaryon line ASI1346-15. The heterokaryon A175 was a crossed line between strains ASI1038-211 and ASI1346-20. The mycelium of 'Saedo' showed good growth on compost dextrose agar at $25^{\circ}C$. The morphological traits such as the pileus (cap) and stipe of the 'Saedo' cultivar were thicker than those of the reference control 'Saejeong', and the production yield was increased by 1.89-fold compared to that of the reference control. A field experiment of the 'Saedo' cultivar has been ongoing since 2013. The yield of the 'Saedo' cultivar was found to be substantially higher than that of the reference control during the $2^{nd}$ flush.

The development of automated bottle cultivation systems has facilitated the large-scale production of Pleurotus ostreatus, a commonly cultivated oyster mushroom species in South Korea. However, as the consumption of this product is decreasing and production quantities are exceeding demand, farmers are seeking various other mushroom types and cultivars. In response to this, we have developed a new oyster mushroom cultivar named 'Sena'. This high-yielding cultivar has a white pileus and excellent quality. The white oyster mushroom cultivars 'Goni' and 'Miso' were selected as parental strains from the genetic resources of the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science's Mushroom Division. By crossing their monokaryons, hybrids were developed and subjected to cultivation trials and characteristic evaluations to select the superior cultivar. The optimal temperature for 'Sena' mycelial growth is 25-30℃, with inhibition occurring at temperatures above 30℃, whereas the temperature for mushroom growth is 14-18℃. The mushrooms grow in clusters, with the white pileus having a shallow funnel shape. Optimal mycelial growth occurs in malt extract agar medium. When cultivated in 1,100 cc bottles, the 'Sena' cultivar had 35 available individuals, surpassing the number 16 available from the control cultivar 'Goni'. The yield per bottle also increased by approximately 157 g, a 24% increase over the control cultivar amount. When 300 g samples of harvested mushrooms were packed and stored at 4℃ in a cold storage facility for 28 days, the weight loss rate of 'Sena' was approximately 4.22%, lower than that of 'Goni'. Moreover, the changes in pileus and stipe whiteness (measuring 6.99 and 8.33, respectively) were also lower than those of the control cultivar. Since the appearance of a white cap is crucial for quality assessment, the 'Sena' cultivar is superior to the 'Goni' cultivar in terms of both weight and quality after undergoing low-temperature storage.

The competitiveness of the mushroom industry can be increased by diversifying the domestic Lentinula edodes cultivar. Therefore, 'Chungheung 1ho' was cultivated by hybrid breeding method using strain 'E140025,' which was collected by the Chungheung Mushroom Farming Association. Regarding the morphological characteristics of the fruit, the cap of 'Chungheung 1ho' was smaller than that of the control cultivar, whereas, its stem was longer and thicker than that of the control cultivar. In addition, the weight of the individual fruits of the new cultivar was heavier than that of the control cultivar. The period for primordia formation was 24 days for the new cultivar, which was 16-20 days later than that of the control cultivar. Furthermore, it was found that the patterns of the PCR amplification band using six URP primers were different for 'Chungheung 1ho' than those of the mating strains.

A new brown button mushroom cultivar, 'Hogam', C34 line, was made by crossing homokaryons, ASI1164-37 and ASI1175-66, selected by RAPD analysis and by cultivating three times. Mycelium of 'Hogam' on CDA (compost dextrose agar) media grew well at $25^{\circ}C$. The optimum pin-heading temperature of new variety and optimum growing temperature was $14-18^{\circ}C$. The thickness of the mature cap and stipe were thicker than a control, 'Dahyang' that developed in 2010. The color of pileus was light brown and lighter than 'Dahyang'. Days required from casing to first harvesting were three days longer than control strain, but the weight of harvested fruiting body increased by 1.35 times. 'Hogam' cultivar are expected to contribute to the diversification of domestic mushroom cultivars.

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.

We undertook a breeding program to produce a white button mushroom cultivar with high temperature tolerance in preparation for climate change. The results were as follows. The strains KMCC00540, KMCC00591, and KMCC00643 were selected, and homokaryons were selected and hybrids were identified with ISSR and SSR markers, respectively. The selected hybrids were cultivated in three repetitions at a temperature of 20-25 ℃ and a humidity of 80% or higher. The variation in agricultural traits and fruiting body characteristics was least in the Abs4-2016-121 strain. This line is a hybrid of KMCC00591 and KMCC00875, and field experiments at Gyeongju and Buyeo farms found that the Abs4-2016-121 line has high fruiting body with hardness and delayed opening of pileus at high temperatures, so it was bred as a high-temperature cultivar named 'Hadam'.

In order to breed a new Pleurotus eryngii cultivar exhibiting intermediate size and rapid growth, single crosses between $24{\times}46$ and KNR2539 were performed. The resulting new cultivar, $17{\times}15$, was chosen based on the required days to harvest (15.4 days), quality (7.5), and yield (81.5 g/850 cc bottle) obtained in a preliminary test. The strain was named Aeryni 6 and cultivated at mushroom farms on a large scale for comparison with the reference cultivar Kenneutari No. 2. The yield of Aeryni 6 (76.0 g) was 113.0% compared with the reference cultivar, Kenneutari No. 2, and its quality was 6.8, while that of the reference strain was 5.7. An independent t-test revealed significant differences between the days for harvest, yield, and quality of the two cultivars. The new and reference cultivars were discriminated by PCR amplification of URP2 and URP11 and a confrontation cultivation.

Oyster mushrooms are one of the most popular edible mushrooms in Korea. The 'Santari' cultivar bred in this study, which belongs to the species Pleurotus pulmonarius, is a new oyster mushroom cultivar for bottle culture. It was bred by mating monokaryons isolated from 'GMPO20404' and 'Hosan'. The optimum temperature for 'Santari' mycelial growth was $26-29^{\circ}C$ on PDA medium, and the temperatures for primordium formation and for growth of the fruit body on sawdust medium were $22^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. It took 34 days to complete the spawn run, 3 days to form primordia, and 3 days to finish fruit body growth in the bottle culture. The fruit body pilei were round in shape and brownish, whereas the stipes were long, thick, and white. The yield per bottle of 'Santari' was 172 g/1,100 mL, which was 43% higher than that of the reference cultivar ('Hosan'). The springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness of the stipe tissue were 87%, 82%, 193 g, and 16 kg, respectively. These physical property values of 'Santari' were lower than those of the control cultivar, except for the cohesiveness.
