The compost dextrose(CD) medium was selected a an optimum liquid culture media for Portobella(Agaricus brunescens). The optimal conditions for the mycelial growth of Agaricus brunescens were 25 and pH 7.0. Sucrose and soluble starch were favorable to mycelial growth. Malt extract and ammonium nitrate appeared to be more favorable than the other kinds of nitrogen source. The optimum C/N ratio as about 10.When the collected Portobella trains were compared with growth characteristics, KME 49007 appeared the highest of $44.6kg/3.3m^2$.

This study were conducted to investigate pin-heading induction and growing temperature of Agaricus brunescens. The temperature for fruit body formation was better at $15^{\circ}C$ than at 18 and $21^{\circ}C$. As the temperature go up to $21^{\circ}C$, the fruit body number was decreased but the fruit body size and weight was increased. Optimal temperature for both pin-heading and growth of Agaricus brunescens was $18^{\circ}C$.
