In this study, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was tested to the mycelium culture of Flamulina velutipes which is very popular as an edible mushroom in Korea. Particularly, aluminum oxide particles were used to generate wounds in F. velutipes mycelia via vigorous shaking prior to agro-infiltration. The result showed that transformants resistant to hygromycin could be obtained only from the mycelia with physical wounds. Gene transfer was verified by genomic DNA PCR. This study suggested a convenient tool to improve Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of F. velutipes.

The objective of this study was to determine mushrooms yields using ozone. The results of this study showed as follows; 1. According to ozone treatment on the Pleurotus ostreatus growth length of stipe became short, diameter of stipe and pileus yields of fruiting body increase 7% than the control treatments. 2. According to ozone treatment on the Agaricus bisporus growth, length of stipe became short, diameter of stipe and pileus became large, yields of fruiting body had increase 4% than the contol treatment. 3. According to ozone treatment on the Flamulina velutipes growth, day required for primordial formation after inoculation(DPI) became late for 2 days.

The objective of this study was to determine effects of corn germ meal(CGM) and condensed molasses fermentation solubles(CMS) as the replacement of rice bran on mycelial growth and density in various mushrooms. The results of this study showed that CGM and CMS might be utilized more efficiently than rice bran in culturing mushrooms. The results are as follows; 1. Mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus was remarkably higher than that of control when the concentration of CGM and CMS was 10%, respectively. However, the mycelial density was lower than that of control. Thus, Considering the mycelial growth as well as density, it was found that 20% supplements of CGM and CMS resulted in the best with 78mm/10d and 71mm/10d, respectively. 2. Mycelial growth of Pleurotus eryngii in the treatment group of 10% CMS and 20% CGM showed 74mm/10d and 67mm/10d, respectively. This result tended to be equal or somewhat lower compared with that of control(74mm/10d). 3. Mycelial growth of Flamulina velutipes was 87mm/10d in the treatment of 10% CMS, 79mm/10d in the treatment of 20% CGM, which showed significantly higher than that of control(56mm/10d). When the contents of CGM and CMS were mixed with the amount of 10-30%, Thus, it was assumed that the quantity of mushrooms may increase with the supplements of CEM and CMS. 4. Mycelial growth of Lentinus edodes in the treatment group of 10-40% CMS and 10-30% CGM showed 58-52mm/10d and 56-49mm/10d, respectively. This result was significantly higher that control(47mm/10d). 5. When CMS and CGM were supplememted with the level of 10-30%, mycelial growth rate of Ganoderma lucidum showed 76-72mm/10d and 74-69mm/10d, respectively, which are higher than those of control.
