This study was carried out to investigate the artificial cultivation of Pleurotus eryngii on the optimal medium vessel, periods of cultivation and the optimal method of pinheading for both yield and quality of fruiting body were also performed. The optimal composition of sawdust medium in polypropylene(PP) bottle was combination of sawdust(70%) and corncob(30%) but increased amount of corncob delayed the period of mycelial growth. The mycelial growth and the yield of fruiting body in the medium with beat pulp were worse than that without beat pulp. The optimal composition of nutrients for both yield and quality of fruit body tuned out to be a combination of rice bran(12%), wheat bran(12%) and cottonseed cake(6%). Additions of zeolite, shell lime and bean curd dregs were not effective in mycelial growth and yield of fruit body. When testing size of PP bottle for cultivation, the larger of bottle mouth is, the more pinheading number found, but the number of available fruit body is not significantly different. The culture in $1100\;ml-{\phi}75\;mm$ bottle is the best in the yield and quality of fruit body than those in $555\;ml-{\phi}50\;mm,\;850\;ml-{\phi}58\;mm,\;850\;ml-{\phi}65\;mm\;and\;1100\;ml-{\phi}65\;mm$ bottle. Using the PP bag for cultivation, a square shaped bag was better than a round shaped and black square shaped in mycelial growth and yield of fruit body. The most suitable period of incubation was 35 days after inoculation at $22{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. When the incubation periods was decreased less than 35 days, the pileus formation and yields were very bad but a pinheading condition looked similar, For an optimal pinheading, turning upside down was better than standing and covering.

Rice hull was used as an additive in order to determine the its effect on increse of mushroom growth and yield in Chungnam Provincial techinical institution. In the treatment of 80% rice hull in small Neutaribeosut, mycelial growth duration was shown to be shorter about 11 days and yield increased about 7oie than those of conventional culture. In the case of Chongpung Neutaribeosut bottle culture, mycelial growth duration was shorter about 2 to 3 days in additive of 30 to 80% rice hull compared to conventional, but yield was similar to that of conventional. In the treatment of 30% rice hull in Agrocybe aegerita bottle culture, mycelial growth and yield increased 6 days and 6% than those of convrntional, respectively. In the treatment of 30% to 40% rice hull in Ganoderma lucidum bottle culture, mycelial grow durations were similar 45 days and 38 g/bottle.

The effects of $CO_2$ concentration on fruit-body formation and yield of Pleurotus ferulae (KME65003) mushroom were examined in the growing facilities for bottle cultivation. The $CO_2$ concentration levels in the growing facilities were 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm and 2000 ppm of $CO_2$, controlled by different ventilation amount. Yield of fruit body was highest of 102.4 g/bottle at 1000 ppm treatment and lowest of 75.1 g/bottle at 2000 ppm. As the $CO_2$ concentration increased up to 2000 ppm, the first pinhead formation and fruit-body growing period took longer, so total growing period took 16 days at 500 ppm, but 23 days at 2000 ppm. The number of pinhead formation was highest of 12.2/bottle at 1500 ppm and valid stipes was highest of 2.8/bottle at 1000 ppm. Fruit body characteristics such as pileus and stipe diameter, and stipe length were not significant at different $CO_2$ concentration. The fruit body ratio of 20~50 g range among the whole fruit body which was classified by weight was highest of 60.3% at 1000 ppm. As a result, the suitable $CO_2$ concentration of growth and yield of Pleurotus ferulae was showed as 1000 ppm.

This study was carried out to elucidate suitable spawn culture for an artificial cultivation of Neolentinus lepideus. The optimum culture conditions of the liquid spawn were deffated soy flour for main material, 12 days for culture period and 0.9 vvm for aeration volume, respectively. Sawdust spawn was appropriate for douglas fir sawdust and deffated corn flour (95 : 5, v/v) for mycelia growth and fruiting body formation. In case of liquid spawn, cultivation period was two shorter than sawdust spawn and mushroom yield was 111.9 g per 850ml cultivation bottle. In conclusion, the suitable spawn for fruiting body production was found to be liquid spawn than sawdust spawn with considering cultivation period and mushroom productivity.

Pholiota nameko is one of the four major profitable mushrooms along with oak mushroom, winter mushroom, and oyster mushroom. It contains abundant proteins, carbohydrates, organic acids and vitamins. Its unique taste and flavor as well as its nutritional features make it widely favoured. Mushroom complete medium was the optimal medium for mycelial growth of Pholiota nameko. The optimal temperature and pH for the mycelial growth were $25^{\circ}C$ and 5.0, respectively. The best carbon sources for mycelial growth were glucose and mannose, and the best nitrogen sources were yeast extract, peptone, asparagine, etc. The 8:2 ratio mix of oak sawdust and wheat bran was the best for the bottle cultivation. The best mushroom was yielded after 30 days incubation. The best yield was produced with 850g of medium weight in a PP bag and bottle.

In this study, we attempted to find alternative materials to rice bran (Japonica in Korea) such as rice bran pellet (Indica in Pakistan), corn distillers dried grains with solubles, sesame oil meal, and kapok meal for bottle cultivation of Pleurotus eryngii. Among all treatments, the total carbon content of the mixed substrate was the highest in T1 and the total nitrogen content was the highest in T4. The C/N ratio of T2 was comparable to that of the control and was higher than that of other treatments. The diameter of the pileus was the largest in T1 and T2, and the length of the stipe was the largest in T1 and T2. The yield and bio-efficiency of the fruit body were higher in T2 than in the other treatments, and were similar to that of the control plot. Therefore, the findings of our study suggest that rice bran pellet (Indica in Pakistan) could be a suitable alternative to rice bran (Japonica in Korea) for the cultivation of P. eryngii.

Light wavelength is the major factor of fruit body development associated with mushroom cultivation, but its wavelength range in Pleurotus eryngii is poorly understood. Using four kinds of light emitting diode (LED) including blue (475 nm), green (525 nm), yellowed (590 nm) and red (660 nm), we investigated to elucidate suitable light wavelength during primordium formation and fruit body development of P. eryngii on bottle cultivation. Primordia formation did not occur in blue light and red light. The morphological properties of fruit body in fluorescent lamp and blue light irradiation were showed thicker and larger pileus than those in other LEDs. However, length of stipe in fluorescent lamp and blue light was shorter than that of other LEDs. The DPPH radical was high in blue light, green light, and yellow light except for red light, and the polyphenol was high in four kinds of LED sources. And ergosterol was the highest in the green light. Thus, the high-quality mushroom production of P. eryngii is possible to green light condition considering productivity and functional materials.

'Yeoreumhyang1ho' - a new variety of Flammulina velutipes, light brown in color and adaptable to high temperature - was bred by mating two monokaryons isolated from 'Garlmoe' and 'Konkuk1ho'. It exhibited better quality compared to 'Geumhyang' and 'Garlmoe' under conditions where temperature was maintained at $16^{\circ}C$, without exposure to low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$), during the cultivation period. Bottle cultivation at $16^{\circ}C$ required 22, 6, and 10 days for mycelial growth, primordia formation, and growth of the fruit body, respectively. The total cultivation period for 'Yeoreumhyang1ho' was observed to be 38 days, which is 3 and 7 days shorter than that for 'Geumhyang' and 'Garlmoe', respectively. The primordia formation showed remarkable uniformity and the pileus color was observed to be light brown, an intermediate between yellowish ivory of 'Geumhyang' and medium brown of 'Garlmoe'. The yield was 138 g per 850 ml bottle, which was 10% higher than that of 'Geumhyang'.
