To study the cultural characteristics and wood rotting ability of the secondary mycellia of Armillaria mellea, it was cultivated on the various media. The optimal mycelial growth condition was 20~27 and pH 5.0~6.5 on PDB. A. mellea grew well on MEA, PDA and GP. Lactose and mannitol as carbon sources and glutamic acid as nitrogen sources were found to be effective as additives. A. mellea employed in this study have the characteristics of white rot types. Pine and oak wood were selected as candidates for sawdust substrate.

The optimal temperature for mycelial growth the F. fomentarius was $30^{\circ}C$ and the range of the temperature for mycelial growth wsa about 10~30. The optimal pH for the growth was 4.0. The percentage of weight loss percentage wsa 17.4%. The percentage of WEC extractives wsa increased to 2.24%. The observation of micromorphological showed that the detected cell wall were erosive and thinning as typical degradation pattern of white-rot fungi.
