Six strains among the shiitake varieties developed by the National Institute of Forest Science were used to select suitable varieties for sawdust block cultivation method. After 100 days cultivation (60 days in dark and 40 days in light), the weight loss rate of the sawdust block media was 14.4% (12.8% to 15.7%) in average. After 5 to 7 days of fruiting process, 2~36 primordia per medium were formed. The number of primordium formation was in the following order: Manchuhyang> Sansanhyang> Sanbaekhyang> Bambithyang> Sangjanghyang> Taehyanggo. The stipe length was 41~59 mm as followed by Taehyanggo (59 mm), Sanbackhyang (56 mm), Bambithyang (54 mm), Manchuhyang (53 mm), Sanjanghyang (45 mm) and Sansanhyang (41 mm). Among the strains, Sansanhyang had short and thick stipe. The average weight of fruiting bodies was 33~77 g as following order of Taehyanggo (77 g), Bambithyang (51 g), Sansanhyang (50 g), Manchuhyang (41 g), Sanjanghyang (34 g) and Sanbackhyang (33 g). Mushroom production per 2 kg medium was the highest in Sanbackhyang (473 g) followed by Bambithyang (287 g), Manchuhyang (175 g), Sansanhyang (109 g), Sanjanghyang (78 g) and Taehyanggo (60 g). The hardness of the cap was 1,218 to 1,839 g/10 mm. Taehyanggo was the hardest (1,839 g/10 mm) and Bambithyang was the softest (1,218 g/10 mm). In conclusion, in the cultivation condition of sawdust block medium, mushroom production was good in Sanbackhyang and Bambithyang. Sansanhyang showed good in terms of fruiting body shape.

Cultivation characteristics of 12 strains of cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis crispa) collected in Korea were investigated by growing the mushroom on sawdust medium of Larix kaempferi. As cultivation characteristics, incubation period for full growth of mycelium in a cultivation bottle, cultivation time period taken for first harvest, and mushroom color and yield were examined. S. crispa KFRI 723 showed the shortest for incubation period with 59 days while S. crispa KFRI 746 showed the longest with 94 days. The earliest mushroom harvesting was achieved by 29 days from S. crispa KFRI 746 and the latest was by 63 days from S. crispa KFRI 691. The colors of fruit body of the tested strains can be divided into three groups; S. crispa KFRI 700 was white, S. crispa KFRI 747 was yellow brown, and the others were light yellowish. KFRI 700 yielded the most as 163 g from 380 g sawdust media, while KFRI 746 and KFRI 747 were the lowest with 58 g and 35 g, respectively. As results of cultivation characteristics of 12 strains of cauliflower mushroom, we consider that three strains (KFRI 700, 723 and 724) of S. crispa are suitable for sawdust cultivation on L. kaempferi in the aspects of mycelial growth period, harvesting period and mushroom production, respectively.

To enhance the utilization of Larch(Larix leptolepis Gorden) wood, the sawdusts were tested as cultivating media for Lentinus edodes(Mori 290) by varying the composition of the media. The economic efficiency for producing mushrooms from larch sawdusts was evaluated. The results are as follows. 1. Larch sawdust was as much efficient as oak sawdust in the growth of the mycelia and production of good quality of oak mushrooms. 2. The mushrooms were able to be harvested starting six months after beginning the cultivation. No differences were found among the qualities of the mushrooms produced by various treatments. 3. The contents of lignin(28.6-28.7%) in the fresh sawdust of larchwood are higher than those in the residues of the used media(18.2%). But lignin content of 1% NaOH extracts(30.4-34.4%) in fresh sawdust of larch was lower than those in the residues(68.0%). 4. The production of mushroom was relatively high to be 29.7-31.5%(760-780g.)/2.5kg pack) of mushroom weight. The net profit estimated was 1,475Won per pack.

Cultivation of Pholiota adiposa on sawdust media and its mixed substrates with various agricultural by-products was attempted. The composition of each substrates were compared from the viewpoint of cultivation possibilities with the production of Pholiota adiposa. Populus deltoides showed the best production of the mushroom with 795 g, followed by Robinia pseudo-acacia and Quercus acutissima. The mixed sawdust media with 70% of Robinia pseudo-acacia and 30% of Populus deltoides showed the best production of the mushroom with 265 g followed by the mixture of Robinia pseudo-acacia and Populus deltoides with 50% each with 228 g, while the addition of Quercus acutissima showed the negative effect for the production of Pholiota adiposa. Thus, Robinia pseudo-acacia was considered to be an effective amendment for the production of the mushroom. In addition, various kinds of agricultural by-products showed additive effect for the production of the mushroom, too. Therefore, we could concluded that the sawdust of Robinia pseudo-acacia and agricultural by-products can be used to cultivate Pholiota adiposa.

Studies were processed to confirm the differences of productivity according to sawdust size and effect of additives for sawdust cultivation of shiitake. In results of investigation until shiitake mycelia fully spread on surface of sawdust medium, mycelial growth in treatment of sawdust size $3{\sim}5\;mm$ with $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$, and treatment of sawdust sizw $3{\sim}5\;mm$ without $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$ was the fastest. And, in investigation of rate of weight reduction, treatment of sawdust size below 1 mm without $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$ was the highest. The tendency of fruiting was somewhat different according to treatments. In case of sawdust size below 1 mm with $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$, yield produced from 1st to 2nd flushing period was over 80%. However, in case of sawdust size below 1 mm plus $5{\sim}7\;mm$ without $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$, yield produced from 3rd to 4th flushing period was more than it from 1st to 2nd flushing period and rate of yield produced from 1st to 2nd flushing period to total yield was 34%. Results of investigation on productivity, yield and the number of fruit-bodies were remarkably different according to treatments. Sawdust size $3{\sim}5\;mm$ with $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$, whose total yield and the number of fruit-bodies were 568 g and 67, respectively, was the highest. And, total yield of medium of sawdust size below 1 mm plus $2{\sim}3\;mm$ without $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$ was lowest as 227 g and the number of fruit-bodies of medium of sawdust size below 1 mm plus $5{\sim}7\;mm$ without $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$ was lowest as 24. In investigation on amount of fruit-bodies over 10 g, medium of sawdust size $3{\sim}5\;mm$ with $CaCO_3$ and $KNO_3$ was highest as 397 g.

The cultivation conditions of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) influence the production and quality of fruiting bodies. We conducted this study to improve the productivity and quality of shiitake mushrooms by modifying the cultivation conditions. Two types of spawns (sawdust and liquid spawn) were used, and corn flour was used as a nutritional source for the sawdust medium. A blue light-emitting diode (LED; 300 lux) was also used instead of a white LED during the incubation period. Sanbaekhyang was used as the experimental variety. When using corn flour, the mycelial growth rate increased 1.1 to 2.7 times the growth rate of the control up to 21 days of incubation, and the weight loss rate of the media was also higher. Mushroom productivity increased 1.2 times when the liquid spawn was used compared to when the sawdust spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production by 1.1 times compared to the white LED. Mushroom productivity increased when the liquid spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production. Fruiting body weight and the size of the cap were greater when sawdust spawn was used. The fruiting body weight and the stipe diameter were greater when the blue LED was used. Taste analysis showed that the saltiness increased when corn flour was used, and the sourness increased when the blue LED was used.

Cauliflower mushroom(Sparassis crispa) contains much amount of ${\beta}$-glucan, which make lots of farmer want to cultivate the mushroom. Since a practical cultivation method is not provided yet, the mushroom is considered as a difficult crop to deal with. In this study, we tried to develope a simple method to cultivate the mushroom by use of coniferous sawdust-based medium with wheat flour and molasses. There was no significant differences between the sawdust spawn and the liquid spawn for the mycelial growth of the mushroom. The cold shock in $4^{\circ}C$ for a day was thought to be the best way to seduce primordium formation. The sawdust medium of Pseudotsuga menziesii mixed with wheat flour, corn chip, cottonseed meal and 10% molasses was showed the best yield with 41% followed by that of Larix leptolepis mixed with the same additives with 37% of yield. There was good relations between the fruit-body production and the weight loss of the sawdust substrate.
