The culture condition and medium composition for the enhanced mycelial growth of Inonotus mikadoi IMSNU 32058 were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for the mycelial growth were $27^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.5, respectively. Among the complex media tested, the malt extract medium and Phellinus igniarius medium were very good for mycelial growth of I. mikadoi. When Czapek-Dox medium was used as a minimal medium for cultivation of mycelia, xylose, raffinose and carboxymethyl cellulose were very excellent as a carbon and energy source. With respect to carbohydrate, sucrose and glucose were very good carbon sources. In general, organic complex nitrogen sources were better than other inorganic ones. As the organic complex nitrogen sources tested, yeast extract, soytone, proteose peptone and bacto peptone were the best as a source of organic nitrogen. When ammonium sulfate as an inorganic source of nitrogen was used, the enhanced mycelial growth was shown. p-Aminobenzoic acid was proved to be most appropriate source of vitamin. After the mycelia of I. mikadoi was cultivated at $27^{\circ}C$ for 5 days in MEM broth (pH 4.5), the activities of both exomycelial and endo-mycelial enzymes were determined. Among endomycelial enzymes assayed, the specific activity of laccase was much higher than those of other enzymes. When the fungus was grown in MEM broth, exomycelial specific enzyme activity of laccase was comparatively high. However, little or no enzyme activities of protease, chitinase and lipase were found.

The culture conditions for the enhanced mycelial of Clavicorona pyxidata DGUM 29005 were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for the mycelial growth were $24^{\circ}C$ and 5.0, respectively. It was shown that trehalose was the best supplement of carbon sources in Czapek-Dox medium as a minimal medium for enhanced mycelial growth. In general, inorganic nitrogen sources were better than organic ones for mycelial growth. Calcium nitrate was the best out of the inorganic nitrogen test. The appropriate phosphorous and vitamin were $Na_2HPO_4$ and p-aminobenzoic acid, respectively. After the mycelial of C. pyxidata DGUM 29005 was cultivated at $24^{\circ}C$ for 20 days in MEM broth(pH 5.0), the specific activities of both exomycelial and endomycelial enzymes were determined. Among the exomycelial enzyme assayed, the specific activity of laccase was much higher than those of other enzymes. However, little or no enzyme activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase, chitinase, lipase and pretense were found.

The mycelia of Tricholoma matsutake DGUM 26001, 26101, 26210 and FRI 91024 were used to determine the extracellular enzyme activity in mycelia. When the filtrate of culture broth after 30-day cultivation at $24^{\circ}C$ was used as a crude solution of extracellular enzyme, the average specific activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ was 6142.3 unit/mg protein. The specific activity of xylanase was comparatively high. However, little or no enzyme activities were found for ${\beta}-glucosidase$, ligninase, CMCase, chitinase, protease, and lipase.
