This study was done to find out the effect of seven widely used herbicides on mycelial growth, productivity and germ inability of sclerotium of Corticiurm sasakii growing on artificial media. The results obtained are as follows: (1) 2,4-D amine inhibited at 5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 2.5 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited highly. sclerotial germinability were inhibited slightly. (2) MCP inhibited at 10 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 500 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited highly, sclerotial germinability were inhibited slightly. (3) DCPA and PCP inhibited highly or perfectly at 2.5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and sclerotia production. Also sclerotial germinability was inhibited highly at normal field rate. (4) MO inhibited at 125 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth was not inhibited, sclerotial germinabitity was inhibited moderately. (5) CP-53619 inhibited at 2.5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, though mycelial growth and sclerotia production were inhibited moderately, sclerotial germinability was inhibited little. (6) NPE inhibited at 5 to 1000ppm mycelial growth and at 10 to 1000ppm sclerotia production. At normal field rate, mycelial growth, productivity and germinability of sclerotium were inhibited slightly.

Batch cultures were carried out to optimize the exo-polysaccharide production by liquid cultures of Pleurotus ferulae. Among the various carbon sources, when $5\%$ of glucose was used, the maximum mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide concentration reached were 8.78 g/l and 3.59 g/l, respectively. Yeast extract and polypeptone were identified as the most suitable nitrogen sources. In particular, when a mixture of $1\%$ of polypeptone and $0.8\%$ of yeast extract was used, 9.52 g/l of mycelial growth and 4.09 g/l of exo-polysaccharide were obtained. In the case of mineral sources, K$_2$HPO$_4$ and MgSO$_4$$\codt$7H$_2$0 were found to be the best mineral sources for mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide production. Under the optimized culture conditions, the agitation speed and aeration were investigated for mycelial growth and exo­polysaccharide production in a jar fermentor. The maximum mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide concentration at 1.5 vvm and 200 rpm obtained were 13.2 g/l and 4.95 g/l, respectively, after 10 days of culture, which were $76\%$ and $79\%$ higher than those of the basal medium. The specific growth rate was decreased with the increase of mycelial growth. However, the specific production rate of the exo-polysaccharide was proportionally increased with the specific growth rate. The proposed model profiles showed good agreement with the experimental results for the mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide production. The specific production rate using the optimized medium was higher than that of basal medium.

In this study, the effect of different substrates of agricultural by-products on the mycelial growth rate and density of Trametes versicolor (Turkeytail mushroom) was analyzed. We found that pepper stem and rice bran with a mixing ratio of 9:1(v/v) produced the best mycelial growth of 101 mm in 10 days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 resulted in mycelial growth of 83 mm in 10 days. The control group treated with a 9:1 mixing ratio of oak sawdust and rice bran (v/v) produced mycelial growth of 74 mm in 10 days. The following results are in the order of beanstalk, sesame stem, and perilla stem. After the harvest of the mushrooms, the mycelial growth rate and the density of T. versicolor in each substrate were as follows the group with waste substrate of Pleurotus eryngii and rice bran with a mixing ratio of 9:1(v/v) produced the best result of 76 mm in days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 produced of 61 mm in 10 days. The control group with a 9:1 ratio of oak sawdust and rice bran produced mycelia of 74 mm in 10 days, while a mixing ratio of 8:2 resulted in mycelia of 59 mm in10 days.

Cylindvocarpon destmtalns isolate CY-92-01, pathogen of root-rot of Panax ginseng showed t the maximum mycelial growth on the Czapek solution agar among the thirteen kinds of media. Five isolates (Isolate CY-92-01, CY-92-03, CY-92-07, CY-94-01, CY-94-02) of C. destructan from various growth stages of p. ginseng recovered from several geographical sites also showed maximum growth in the Czapek-Dox broth compared with potato dextrose broth and V-8 juice broth. Rapid growth rate was maintained until 12 days after inoculation on the Czapek-Dox broth and mycelial weight was somewhat constant until 20 days. After 30 days of incubation, the mycelial weight began to decrease. The fungal growth occurred from 5$^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ and optimum temperature for growth was 2$0^{\circ}C$. Mycelial weight orderly decreased at 15, 25, 10, and 5$^{\circ}C$. Quantitative measurement was impossible at 5$^{\circ}C$. No fungal growth was occurred at the temperature higher than 3$0^{\circ}C$. Growth was observed at all tested pH ranges from 2.8 to 8.0. Optimum pH for growth was 4.0~5.0 followed by pH 3.3~3.5 and 5.4~6.0. The least growth occurred at pH 2.8.

For the practical using of liquid spawn we carried out selection test of nutrient sources, cultural methods and cultural apparatus for liquid spawn production of oyster mushroom(ASTI 2001, ASTI 2018, ASTI 2072, ASTI 2016, ASTI 2070, ASTI 2180, ASTI 2183, ASTI 2042). The optimal temperature and pH range for mycelial growth of Pleurotus species were $25^{\circ}C\;to\;30^{\circ}C$ and 5.5 to 6.5, respectively. The effect of carbon sources, nitrogen sources and mineral salts on the mycelial growth was studied using petridish culture. Generally, the disaccharides and polysaccharides showed good effect for mycelial growth of Pleurotus species, and the polysaccharides were superior to the other classes of carbon sources for mycelial growth. For the mycelial growth of the 8 oyster mushroom stains, soybean flour was superior to the other kinds of nitrogen sources. On the other hand, addition of mineral salts did not affect, and even poor under certain mineral salts, the mycelial growth of the 8 oyster mushroom stains. The brown sugar selected out the carbon source of the agricultural medium. Also the soybean flour selected out the nitrogen source of agricultural medium. In the medium selection, we selected out agricultural optimum medium composed of brown sugar 3%, soybean flour 0.3%, potassium phosphate 0.05%, magnesium sulfate 0.05%. Under the 250 ml erlenmeyer culture, the effects of such factors as the inoculum rate, the working volume, cultural method and flask shapes on the mycelial growth were examined. The optimal inoculum rate and working volume on the mycelial growth of oyster mushroom was 2 mycelial disk (diameter 6 mm) and 100 ml, respectively. The shake flask culture was enhanced the mycelial growth than at the erlenmeyer flask. Pulp form growth of mycelium in the erlenmeyer flask culture was obtained in the culture with glass rod of length 50 mm, diameter 10 mm.

The Study was carried out to investigate in the optimal mycelial growth and Exo-Polysaccharides of Fomitopsis pinicola. Jar fermentations were carried out to optimize the culture conditions for mycelial growth and exo- polysaccharide production. The optimal agitation speed and aeration rate were 200 rpm and 1.5 v.v.m., respectively. Under optimal culture conditions, the maximum mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide production after 11 days with a 5 L jar fermenter containing the optimized medium were 10.21 g/L and 3.56 g/L, respectively. However, the fundamental information obtained this study is insufficient in the development of a efficient process for mycelial growth and exe-polysaccharide production from Fomitopsis pinicola.

Effects of buprofezin, a chitin synthesis inhibitor of insects, on mycelial growth, protoplast formation and reversion of Coriolus versicolor, Ganoderma applanatum and G. lucidum were investigated. The mycelial growth of C. versicolor, G, applanatum and G, lucidum was severely inhibited by buprofezin treatment, and the inhibition rate severely as the concentration of the buprofezin increased. Aerial mycelia and oidia formation of the mushrooms were increased by buprofezin treatment, but mycelial morphology was not changed. The rate of protoplast formation and reversion of G, applanatum was greatly increased by the treatment of the buprofezin, while that of G. lucidium was decreased. The rate of protoplast formation of C. versicolor was also increased when buprofezin was added to the medium, but the rate of protoplast reversion was not affected by the treatment, From the results obtained in this experiment, we found that the rate of protoplast. formation and reversion was increased by the treatment of the buprofezin in the mushrooms such as C, versicolor and G, applanatum, whose mycelial growth was fast on the medium, while that of G. lucidum, whose mycelial growth was relatively slow, was decreased by the treatment.

The recycling method of enokitake cultural waste and the potentiality of second flush for enokitake were determined, because this fungus is not as prolific as the more commonly cultivated white rot fungi in the conversion of sawdust to mycelial mass. The mycelial growth of F. velutipes on several substrates, variously treated with rice bran was promoted at ratios of 10-20% (w/w) on all substrates, but suppressed at above ratios, although some difference was there. The mycelial densities generally increased correlated to the supplementation contents of rice bran. It could be concluded that F. velutipes preferred mild acidic to acidic conditions for mycelial growth, considering that the mycelial growth rate was highest on waste of pH 6.01, treated with 0.1 % Ca(OH)$_2$ and on populus mixed waste of pH 6.02, non treated. The ranges of substrate bulk densities, which was pertinent for mycelial linear growth were from B.D. (g/cc) 0.17 to 0.23 on waste and populus mixed waste all. The pertinent contents of rice bran supplementation in bottle cultivation was from 20 to 30% on waste and 20% on populus mixed waste, considering the requried duration for pinheading and fruiting yields. Standard bulk density for filling and utilizing the waste and populus mixed waste for commercial f. velutipes cultivation were B.D.(g/cc) 0.19 ~ 0.23, and 0.23~ 0.25, which could be conversed to 510~ 540g/900m1 and 520~ 570g/900m1, respectively, The second flush of F. velutipes was tried and the re-inoculation by sawdust and liquid spawn showed somewhat good results, indicating the potentiality of second crop and suggesting further research for it.

Cordyceps cardinalis was reported in Japan and the USA in 2004, and its fruiting bodies have recently been cultured in Korea. Herbarium specimens preserved at the Cordyceps Research Institute, Mushtech, Korea were revised and identified as C. cardinalis, based on morphological characters and conidial structures. Most of the C. cardinalis specimens were collected from Mt. Halla in Jeju-do. The effects of various nutritional sources and environmental conditions such as temperature and pH on mycelial growth of C. cardinalis were studied. Oatmeal agar, Martin's peptone dextrose agar, and Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics complete medium plus yeast extract resulted in the best mycelial growth. Among carbon sources, cereals, and nitrogen sources, maltose, oatmeal, and peptone resulted in the best mycelial growth respectively. Mineral salts helped to increase growth rate but only resulted in thin mycelial density, similar to water agar. A temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and a pH of 7 resulted in the highest mycelial growth. Based on these results, a Cordyceps cardinalis composite medium (CCM) was formulated with 1% maltose, 2% oatmeal, 1% peptone, and 2% agar. Use of the CCM resulted in slightly better mycelial growth than that of other commonly used agar media. Only organic nitrogen sources imparted a reddish pigmentation to the agar media, but this character diminished after several subcultures. A 7 day culture duration resulted in the best mycelial growth.
