Effects of Cordyceps militaris mycelia on rumen microbial fermentation were determined by measuring in vitro gas production, cellulose digestion and VFA concentrations. C. militaris mycelia was added to buffered rumen fluid with final concentrations of 0.00, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 g/L and incubation times were for 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h. At all incubation times, the gas production showed a quadratic increase with the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia; maximum responses were seen with 0.25 g/L supplementation. However, the gas production was significantly lower for the 0.30 g/L supplementation than for the 0.25 g/L supplementation from 9 h to 72 h incubation. The cellulose filter paper (FP) digestion showed a quadratic increase, as did the gas production except at 3 h incubation. The concentration of total VFA was significantly increased by the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia compared with the control treatment; the highest response was also seen with 0.25 g/L supplementation. This was true for responses in the concentration of acetic and propionic acids. As opposed to other responses, the responses of pH to the supplementation of C. militaris mycelia showed a quadratic decrease from 3 h to 36 h incubation. In conclusion, C. militaris mycelia alter the mixed rumen microbial fermentation with increases in the production of gas and VFA, and cellulose FP digestion.

To develop basidiomycetes-fermented cereals with hypoglycemic property, inhibitory effects of basidiomycetes mycelia and basidiomycetes-fermented cereals on postprandial glucose were investigated. In vitro effect of basidiomycetes mycelia on retarding the membrane transport of glucose was compared with pectin. For basidiomycetes mycelia, $13.1{\pm}3.6{\sim}41.8{\pm}8.0%$ of total glucose remained in inner solution of dialysis membrane after dialysis for 120 min, indicating that most of basidiomycetes mycelia might effectively retard membrane transport of glucose. Glucose tolerance of basidiomycetes mycelia and basidiomycetes-fermented cereals was tested on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats administrated with maltose. Postprandial glucose levels of basidiomycetes mycelia, $389.4{\pm}43.8{\sim}426.3{\pm}49.4mg/dL$, were considerably lower than that of control, $535.3{\pm}78.6mg/dL$, at 30 minutes after maltose administration. Namely, basidiomycetes mycelia showed better postprandial glucose lowering effect than pectin. Brown rice and barley fermented with Paecilomyces japonica showed much lower postprandial glucose level than raw brown rice and barley, especially hypoglycemic effect of barley fermented with Paecilomyces japonica was significant.

Incubation condition affecting the chlamydospore formation and isolation from mycelia and conidia of Cylindrocarpon destructanse (isolate ACY-9701), isolated from the root rot lesion of the American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) was investigated. Chlamydospores were formed from mycilia but not from conidia on the Czapek-Dox agar without carbon or nitrogen source after 20 days incubation at 2$0^{\circ}C$. In the medium added with nitrogen and carbon sources, immatured chlamy-dospore-like cells were formed from microconidia and mycelia as well. Immatured chlamydospore-like cells were formed from mycelia as well as microconidia In corn, kidney bean, and pea root extracts after 20 days incubation at 20"C, while typical chlamydospores were formed from both of them in the root extract of Panax quinquefolium. The 3.6 log chlamydospore/mm" was converted from microconidia in the medium, which was equal to 2.5% conidia formed. Under the light condition (251.1 pmol/m" sec, 12 hrs dark and light cycle), 4.2 log/mm" of chlamydospores were converted from interracially or terminal cells of macroconidia, which was 4.0% of macroconidia produced on Potato dextrose agar (PDA). When mycelia and microconidia were stored at -7$0^{\circ}C$ for 32 days and incubated on PDA after thawing at room temperature to isolate chlamydospores from them, microconidia and mycelia were still alive. Meanwhile, microconidial lysis was found after heating them at 32$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, but the chlamydospores converted from macroconidia were not lysed up to 13 days at 32"C. to 13 days at 32"C.ot;C.

Aerial crystalline filaments emerged from dense type of mycelia on some monokaryotic transformants of Pleurotus florida, P. ostreatus and P. sajorcaju. Cytstals were not dissolved in water but soluble in ethanol or at the temperature of higher than $80^{\circ}C$. Crystals were detected in the mycelia grown on the mushroom minimal medium as well as the mushroom complete medium. They were produced on both liquid media and agar plate. Although the mycelia incubated at $15-20^{\circ}C$, produced crystals, the mycelia incubated at $30-35^{\circ}C$ did not. Furthermore, crystal forming mycelia were obtained from monokaryotic basidiospore of P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju by mutations (UV irradiation).

Protoplast releasing mechanisms from Trichoderma koningii, fine structures of the released protoplsts, and their regeneration mode were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Two types of protoplast releasing mechanisms were observed. In one mechanism, cytoplasm emerged through a cell wall pore developed by cell lytic enzymes and formed a spherical protoplast. In the other mechanism, as the cell wall became progressively thinner, the inner cytoplasm partially rounded to form nonspherical bodies which became spherical protoplasts after being released into the enzyme solution. But, these two types of protoplast releasing mechanisms did not seem to be. mutually exclusive but could occur on the same mycelium simultaneously. And it appeared that cytoplasm which did not become a protoplast by the first mechanism could from a protoplast by the second mechanism. The preparations contained two types of protoplasts, released from different sites of the mycelia. Those released from younger mycelia had dense cytoplasm and small vesicles. Those released from the older mycelia had less dense cytoplasm and larger vacuoles. In the case of regeneration, before producing normal mycelia, most of the protoplasts assumed aberrant tube and yeast-like-forms. Normal mycelia were produced at the end of the yeastlike-forms and sometimes in the middle of the aberrant tube.

Agrobacterium harboring vector pCHBs with hygromycin phosphotransferase(hph) and hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg)gene was transformed into the mycelial culture of Flammulina velutipes. In particular, mild NaOH solution was treated to the mycelia before Agrobacterium infection step. This was purposed to generate putative surface wounds in the mycelial cell walls. The results showed that hygromycin-resistant($hyg^r$) mycelia could be obtained only from NaOH-treated mycelia but not from intact mycelia. The integration of $hyg^r$ gene in fungal genome was confirmed by PCR. In addition, a single transgene integration and heterologous protein expression in F. velutipes could be verified by Southern blot hybridization and western blot analysis, respectively. This study demonstrated an efficient tool for the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of F. velutipes mycelia.

An anticancer substance was prepared by ethanol precipitation of the hot water extract of culture mycelia of Conolus versicolor KFCC 30388. After 6 days of fermentation, the mycelia growth reached the peak and reducing sugar consumed almost all. HTCFA method has been employed for three human cancer cell lines, Hep-2(larynx cell), A-427 and Calu-3 (lung cell). Anticancer activities in A-427 and Calu-3 were 8.4 and 9.8% survival rate, respectively. The chemical analysis of the extract from the mycelia showed 42.2% of polysaccharide and 10.5% of protein. The polysaccharide consisted of five kinds of monosaccharides, L-glucose, D-glucose, galactose, mannose and xylose.

Mushrooms play crucial roles as reservoirs of naturally occurring bioactive compounds. Among these, Cordyceps militaris is significant because of its well-established reputation for organoleptic excellence and positive health effects, which have led to its widespread commercialization. In contrast, the key properties of Paecilomyces variotii, an ectomycorrhizal symbiont, has received limited attention. In alignment with current research trends, the study of the mycelia and culture media of these mushrooms hold promise in identifying potential sources of valuable bioactive compounds. In the present study, we investigated C. militaris and P. variotii for their phenolic acids and sterols, assessing antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory effects, and anti-proliferative activity. Interestingly, P. variotii mycelia exhibited higher concentrations of ergosterol and phenolic compounds, with comparable levels observed in the fruiting bodies, along with superior antioxidant activity compared to that of C. militaris. In contrast, C. militaris mycelia demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects (which were absent in P. variotii mycelia) and cytotoxicity comparable to, and at times exceeding, that of its fruiting bodies (in contrast to P. variotii). In addition, the species analyzed in this study displayed variations in growth rates and mycelial production, which merit consideration for potential future applications and further study.
