Various conditions for mushroom were investigated to study their effects on the mycelial growth of oyster mushroom and pathogens. Our results show that the optimal pasteurization temperatures for mycelial growth and pathogens are $60^{\circ}C\;and\;121^{\circ}C$ respectively. Both were then decreased by heating over $60^{\circ}C$ and getting down temperature under $121^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the experiment for pasteurization time, it was showed that both 8 and 12 hours pasteurization were greater than 24 hours treatment for the mycelial growth. In contrast, we didn't find any particular effect by different soaking time of substrates. The pH In substrates was leveled well by pasteurization and after-fermentation even though the acidity was lowered by extending the soaking time. Our results also show that the mycelial growth is greatest at $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ regardless of pasteurization time for substrates, Through the experiment with paddy straw as a substrate, it was showed that two time pasteurization was greater than one time for mycelium growth and pro-fermentation of paddy straw before pasteurization have resulted in worth mycelial growth compared with that of normal condition.

This study was conducted to cultivate new Lepista nuda varieties with shorter cultivation period and better fruiting body compared to that of wild strains, for mass production and commercial application. Eighteen genetic resources of L. nuda were collected and grown in boxes using rice straw-fermented growth medium. Four lines with fruiting bodies were formed and selected as cross-breeding lines. Although 657 combinations were crossed through monospore crossing, only 17 combinations were bred between the 'CBMLN-19' line and the 'CBMLN-30' line. Among them, 8 lines with fast mycelial growth and high density were selected. After inoculating the rice straw-fermented growth medium with 14 genetic resources and 8 cross-breeding lines, their incubation period was investigated. Six of the cross-breeding lines completed their incubation in 20 days, while 7 of the 14 genetic resources took more than 40 days to complete their incubation, reducing the incubation period by more than 20 days in most cross-breeding lines. After the incubations were completed, the clay loam soil was covered with for post-cultivation, and when the mycelial cultivation was complete, the formation of fruiting bodies was induced after scraping the mycelial bodies under these environmental conditions: 14℃, 95% relative humidity or higher, and 1,500 to 2,000 ppm CO2 concentration. The temperature was reduced to 6℃ at night, resulting in a low temperature shock. Thus, 4 lines of fruiting bodies occurred from two genetic resources 'CBMLN-31' and 'CBMLN-44' and two cross-bred lines 'CBMLN-96' and 'CBMLN-103'. After inoculation, the longest period for fruiting bodies to occur was 100 days for the control:, the genetic resource 'CBMLN-31', and the shortest period (45 days) was observed for the cross-breeding line 'CBMLN-103'. The result of the investigation of the fruiting body characteristics shows that the cross-bred line 'CBMLN-103' showed a small form with 1.9 g of individual weight and 123validstipes per box, which was the highest incidence among the four lines. Another cross-bred line, 'CBMLN-96', had an individual weight of 5.5 g, which is larger than that of 'CBMLN-103'; however, the number of valid stipes per box was 30 less than that of 'CBMLN-103'. Quantity analysis showed that the control, 'CBMLN-31', had the highest quantity of 783 g per box, followed by the cross-bred line, 'CBMLN-96' with 165 g per box, and then the 'CBMLN-103' with 232 g. The quantity of the two crossbred lines was lower than that of the control 'CBMLN-31'; however, the amount of fruiting bodies was higher, and the cultivation period was shortened by 32 to 33 days. Therefore, these two lines would be selected as superior lines.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic data for an artificial cultivation of Phellinus sp.. The optimum conditions for the mycelial growth on the different sawdusts (Quercus aliena, Morns alba and Alnus japonica) substrate of an isolated Phellinus sp. were optimized by response surface methodology. The ratio of rice bran addition to sawdust and the suitable moisture content for the mycelial growth in the all sawdust media were about 30% (w/w) and $65{\sim}70%$ (w/v), respectively. The initial pHs for the mycelial growth of Quercus aliena and Morns alba were in the range of $pH\;5{\sim}6$, whereas Alnus japonica was obtained at pH 6. The optimum temperature for the mycelial growth was about $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, depending on the different kinds of wood substrates. From the response surface analysis, the values of independent variables of Quercus aliena at stationary points were determined to be 31.01 % (w/w) of rice bran, pH of 5.31 and 69.03% (w/v) of moisture content, and the expected value of mycelial growth was about 8.32 cm. Both the ratio of rice bran addition to sawdust $(X_1)$ and moisture content $(X_3)$ were effective to the mycelial growth. In the case of Morns alba, the ratio of rice bran addition to sawdust, initial pH and moisture content at the stationary points were 28.77% (w/w), 5.28 and 69.8 (w/v),respectively, and the expected mycelial growth of 7.60 cm was obtained. Stationary points for the mycelial growth in the sawdust media of Alnus japonica were 28.74% (w/w) of rice bran, pH of 6. 04 and 66.96% (w/v) of moisture content, and the expected values of mycelial growth was about 5.38 cm. Based on the above results, there was correlations between the mycelial growth and independent variables, and the effect of rice bran $(X_1)$ and initial pH $(X_2)$ for the mycelial growth were higher than the moisture content $(X_3)$. The optimum species of sawdust media for the my celial growth of Phellinus sp. was in the order of Quercus aliena > Morns alba > Alnus japonica.

The suitable sterilization conditions in pot cultivation of varieties of Chunchunutari-2-ho and Suhannutari-1-ho Pleurotus ostreatus were investigated. The substrate formulations for the cultivation consisted of 40% poplar sawdust, 40% waste cotton and 20% beet pulp (PWB), and 40% poplar sawdust, 40% cotton seed hull and 20% beet pulp (PCB). The increase in the sterilization temperature caused decrease in the pH of the substrate. The moisture content of PWB substrate increased by 1.8%, but that of PCB substrate decreased by 4.1 % after low temperature sterilization ($12hr\;at\;60^{\circ}C$). However, a little change in the sterilization at higher temperature ($6hr\;at\;100^{\circ}C\;and\;90min\;at\;121^{\circ}C$) did not alter the moisture content of both substrate appreciably. The duration of mycelial growth was longest and its density was lowest in low temperature sterilization ($12hr\;at\;60^{\circ}C$). The high pressure sterilization ($90min\;at\;121^{\circ}C$) of PCB substrate produced high yield (236.6 g/pot) and the highest biological efficiency (96.6%) for Chunchunutari-2-ho. On the contrary the high temperatures sterilization ($6hr\;at\;100^{\circ}C$) of PCB substrate resulted in the yield of 259.1 g/pot with the biological efficiency 94.9% for Suhannutari-2-ho.

This study was carried to investigate suitable additive materials and its mixing ratio in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. The main substrate for Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation was poplar sawdust plus with waste cotton at the ratio 1 : 1 (v/v). Using pot diameter and substrate weight were 12 cm and 1 kg/pot, respectively. The higher amount of additives resulted in higher total nitrogen content and C/N ratio of substrate also decreased according to increasing mixing ratio of additives. The supplementation of cotton seed flour more than 20% caused the failure of devolopment of fruit body. The hardness of substrate in supplementation of rice bran after mycelial growth was highest any other additives. The ratio of harvest was highest in supplementation of beet pulp, $75{\sim}85%$. The fruit bodies yield and biological efficiency of supplemented with 20% beet pulp were highest during second flush.

This study was carried to investigate efficient pot diameter and substrate weight in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. Cultivating substrate was pine sawdust+beet pulp+cotten seed flour (50 : 30 : 20, v/v). Ranges of pot diameter and substrate weight were $10{\sim}20\;cm\;and\;600{\sim}2,500\;g/pot$, respectively. Smaller pot diameter resulted in longer pot length according to increasing substrate weight, so mycelial growth period and total cultivation period was retarded. Wider pot diameter resulted in a little lower biological efficiency in the same substrate weight. Heavier substrate weight was brought higher yield but lower biological efficiency. Average yield according to pot diameter was decreased at wider than 14 cm during second flush. And average biological efficiency according to substrate weight was lower than 100% at heavier than 1,200 g/pot during second flush. So suitable pot diameter and substrate weight in pot cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus were estimated $10{\sim}14\;cm\;and\;800{\sim}1,200\;g$, respectively.

The investigation was aimed to reduce the period of bed log through the protection of harmful fungi and to know the effects of physiological activating substances on the yield increase of Lentinus edodes. Mycelial growth was evaluated both the bed logs and physiological activating substances, respectively. I percent extract of Allium cepa and malt as a physiological activating substance was highly effective in mycelial growth of Lentinus edodes. Better effects among the bed logs by the application fo physiological activating substances observed in both Quercus serrata and Carpinus laxiflora. This results suggested that supplement of physiological activating substances to the bed log would be beneficial for the production of Lentinus edodes.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic data for artificial culture of veiled lady mushroom (Dictyophora spp). The optimal conditions for the mycelial growth were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0 for all isolates except the optimal temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ for D. echinovolvata ASI 32002 and Phallus rugulosus. The optimal medium for Dictyophora spp. was PBA (potato bamboo sawdust extract agar) medium. The strain ASI 32002, D. echinovolvata, grew faster than. D. indusiata ASI 32003 and Phallus rugulosus ASI 25007 on the medium. Carbon sources such as glucose, maltose and inuline were favorable for stimulating a mycelial growth of the two strains of ASI 32002 and ASI 32003. Asparagine and glutamine appeared to be favorable to the strain ASI 32002 and ASI 32003, where as alanine, one of nitrogen source also favorable to the strain ASI 32002. The optimum C/N ratio of the two isolates of ASI 32002 and ASI 32003 was about 25 : 1 when 2% glucose as carbon source was mixed with the basal medium. While, in the case of 4% as carbon source, the optimum C/N ratio was about 30 : 1.
