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.
