Pleurotus species are commercially essential mushrooms and widely cultivated throughout the world. The production of Pleurotus mushrooms alone accounts for around 25% of that total cultivated mushrooms globally. In America and Europe, Pleurotus species are considered specialty mushrooms, whereas, in Korea, their cultivation is economically profitable, and it is one of the highly consumed species. Pleurotus species are predominantly found in tropical forests and often grow on fallen branches, dead and decaying tree stumps, and wet logs. Biographical studies have shown that the Pleurotus genus is among the more conspicuous fungi that induce wood decay in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide due to its formidable lignin-modifying enzymes, including laccase and versatile peroxidases. Pleurotus species can be grown easily due to their fast colonization nature on diversified agro-substrates and their biological efficiency 100%. Pleurotus mushrooms are rich in proteins, dietary fiber, essential amino acids, carbohydrates, water-soluble vitamins, and minerals. These mushrooms are abundant in functional bioactive molecules, though to influence health. Pleurotus mushrooms are finding unique applications as flavoring, aroma, and excellent preservation quality. Apart from its unique applications, Pleurotus mushrooms have a unique status delicacy with high nutritional and medicinal values. The present review provides an insight into the cultivation of Pleurotus spp. using different agro-waste as growth substances paying attention to their effects on the growth and chemical composition.

The cultural properties are damaged by various causes according to the characteristics of material, the condition of preservation, and the period of time. Especially, biodeterioration makes lots of damages in organic properties than inorganic ones. The damages of wooden cultural properties by insects usually are caused by the three orders; Isoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera. As the result of investigation on the state of 141 buildings of wooden cultural properties in 1999, some of them were damaged by many kinds off actors; wasp, powder post beetle, cigarette beetle, termite, decay, and physical cracking. And it was found that the patterns of damages were related to species-specific habits of insects. There are several methods of pest control for the prevention of wooden cultural properties from damages caused by insects. Those are as follows; physical control, chemical control, biological control, and integrated pest management. When insects and fungi were detected at the wooden buildings, the fumigation is best treatment to stop biodeterioration. And then, wood materials also need to be treated with insecticidal and antiseptic chemicals to avoid a reinfestation, because the fumigant is volatile. The six commercial chemicals which are applied to the insecticidal and antiseptic treatment of wooden cultural properties were purchased to test their abilities. According to the comparative results of efficacy of them in laboratory, chemical D showed excellent efficacy in all items, including antiseptic and termiticidal items. The goal of these pest controls is to protect wooden buildings from insects and microorganisms. The most effective method used currently is chemical control(fumigation, insecticidal and anticeptic chemical treatment), but it has to be treated periodically to control pest effectively. Recently environmentally-friendly control methods such as bait system or biological treatments are replacing traditional barrier treatments using large amounts of chemicals. Especially, termite is a social insect which makes a colony. Although a building with fumigation treatment is safe for a while, once attacked building has a risk of damage by reinfestation of termite. Therefore, to control termites from damaged building, the entire colony including reproductives(queen and king) and larvae around buildings must beeliminated. Bait system can be used as a preventive measure in early detection of them through termites colony monitoring and baiting. It would be the most effective for termite control if bait system would be used together with the chemical controls.

석간주는 적색과 적갈색 등 붉은 빛을 띠는 전통 광물성 안료로 주성분은 산화철이다. 석간주의 광물학적 특성과 기능성을 연구하기 위해서, 문헌에 옛 산지로 나와있는 울릉도 주토굴에서 석간주를 채취하였다. 울릉도주토굴의 석간주광석은 감람석현무암과 각섬석조면암 경계면에서 단속적으로 산출하며, 적갈색 또는 황갈색을 띠고 대체로 점토질이며 부분적으로 암편을 함유하고 있다. 석간주광석 중 적색은 적철석에 의한 것이며, 황갈색은 훼리하이드라이트에 의한 것이다. 울릉도석간주광석의 색상을 결정하는 산화철광물들은 고토양중에서 함철 수용액으로부터 훼리하이드라이트라는 광물로 침전되었으나 부분적으로 적철석으로 전이되었다. 석간주광석을 전통방식에 의해 안료로 제작하여 목재에 재현한 색상은 전통 건축물에서 측정한 붉은색 색상과 유사하였다. 울릉도석간주안료의 내습기능과 방염기능은 화학석간주안료에 비해 월등히 우수한 것으로 확인되었으며 연소시험에서 화학석간주안료는 발화와 연소를 촉진시키는 결과를 보였다. 울릉도석간주안료가 함유된 배지에서 목재부후균의 성장이 저지되는 경향을 보여 울릉도석간주는 방부성을 지닌 채색안료로 판단된다.
