To study physiological and ecological characters of the secondary mycelia of Armillariella mellea, it was cultivated on the various media. It was grown very well on the malt extract medium compared with its growth on yeast extract medium, potato dextrose medium and Hamada medium. The temperature of $27^{\circ}C$ gave the best condition for it to grow. The highest rate of growth was shown in medium of pH 6. Heteroauxin of 5 ppm concentration showed a increase as 26.2% in growth in compared with the control group. Gibberelline 10ppm, Tomatoton of 10,000 dilution and Adoton of 5,000 dilution showed positive effect. It was shown that the use of above hormones in appropriate concentration brought the effect of growth, but overuse of them brought inhibitory effect. Under the same condition of 200ppm concentration, vitamin A gave the highest growth of 18.2% than that of the control used.
