In order to investigate the changes of microorganisms, enzyme activity and physiological functionality of five types of traditional Deonjang prepared with various concentrations of Lentinus edodes. The pH of traditional Deonjang was decreased but total acidity was increased during fermentation. NaCl concentrations was increased up to $15.67{\sim}16.02%$ until $30{\sim}45$ days of fermentation but decreased after that. Amino acidity was increased on the traditional Deonjang with increasing the mixture ratio of Lentinus edodes. Reducing sugar content was increased up to $30{\sim}45$ days of fermentation. Total sugar content was increased up to $18.21{\sim}20.57%$ until 30 days of fermentation. As the mixing ratio of Lentinus edodes increased, total sugar also increased. The number of bacteria was highest in all sample after 45 days fermentation, while that of mold was decreased during fermentation. Amylase activity was decreased but protease activity, tyrosinase inhibitor and ACE inhibitor were increased on the traditional Doenjang with increasing the mixture ratio of Lentinus edodes. Antimutagenic activities of traditional Deonjang (10% Cortinellus edodes) were 83.15%, 65.88% against MNNG, NPD on S. typhimutium TA100 and 54.59%, 55.00% against NQO, NPD on S. typhimutium TA98

To find antitumor constituents in Korean basidiomycetes, the mycelia of Lentinus edodes DMC7, which had shown a good mycelial growth in shakeflasks, were cultured at $27^{\circ}C$ on an orbital shaking incubator at 180 rev/min for 12 days. The medium was composed of glucose (50g/l), yeast extract (9g/l), peptone (9g/l), and seven inorganic salts. A water soluble macromolecular fraction, LF-3, was obtained from the culure filtrate by fractionation with ethanol and dialysis using a Visking tube. When LF-3 was administered i.p. at 50mg/kg/day once daily for 10 consecutive days to female ICR mice which were implanted s.c. with sarcoma 180 $(10^6\;cells/mouse)$, it exerted a highly significant antitumor activity, with the tumor inhibition ratio of 53. 1%.

The effects of mushrooms such as Lentinus edodes and Pleurotus ostreatus on anti-cancer activity through in vivo and in vitro experiments were powders of protein-bound polysaccharides in mushrooms were solubilized in 0, 5, 25 mg/kg saline, respectively and were used in vitro experiments. The in vivo experiments were carried out as followed: i) anti-cancer activities on Leukemia $(L_{1210})$, Hepatlicus cancer $(H_{22})$ and Sarcoma180/(S180), and ii) the effect on immune system through changes in intestine weight and the number of hemolytic plague forming cells. Protein-bound polysaccharides of all showed anti-cancer activity on $L_{1210}$ and fruit body of Lentinus edodes 25 mg/kg treatment group showed the highest inhibition rate (86%). Pleurotus ostreatus mycelial in medium of cultivate 25 mg/kg treatment. Fruid body of Lentinus edodes 25 mg/kg treatment group showed the highest inhibition rate (86% and 71%, respectively) on $H_{22}$ among them. The inhibition rates of fruit body and mycelial of Lentinus edodes 25 mg/kg treatment groups on S180 were 33.9% and 30.9%, respectively. Each samples of 50, 100, 200, $400\;{\mu}g/{\mu}L$ on in vitro cell toxicity test did not show significantly different cell death rates at P<0.05. In immune test, weights of liver and spleen were increased according to increase in conc. but were not significantly different at P<0.05. The weights of thymus were heavy in fruit body and mycelial of Lentinus edodes treatment group but were not significantly different at P<0.05. Hemolytic plague forming cells with antibody formation capability were significantly high in fruit body and mycelial of Lentinus edodes treatment samples.

As the growth factor of lactic acid bacteria, LD (trehalose) was isolated from Lentinus edode5 by using silica gel column chromatography. LD induced the growth of Bifidobacteria breve and Lactobacillus brevis, which were isolated from human feces. LD selectively induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria among total microflora. When total intestinal microflora were cultured in the medium containing LD, it stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria and inhibited harmful enzymes, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, and tryptophanase, of intestinal bacteria. LM, which was a monosaccharide from L. edooles, induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria but it seems to be invaluable in vivo. LH isolated from L. edodes by Sephadex G-100 column chromatography was not effective for the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

The possibility of solid-substrate fermentation of Lentinus edoes for the productin of protein-boud polysaccharides (PBP) was studied. Zeolite and orchid-pot soil were used as solid materials for the culture because of the desirable physical properties. Sucrose and starch were good carbon sources for the production of PBP by the solid-substrate fermentatin of L. edodes. Among the nitrogen source, bactosoyton was very effective for the PBP production. The optimum pH for solid-substrate fementation for the production of PBP was at pH of 5.5. The PBP production reached to 5∼5.5mg per 100g solid-substrate.

Many studies have showen that Letinus edodes have a reducing effects on blood pressure and lipid levels in animals with high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. But the only cap has been on the market as goods and the stipe has been wasted. The price is very variable and is based on harvest time and the part of the plant currenty, there is not much information about the nutritional composition and bio-fuctional effects of Letinus edodes based on harvest time and part. Some farmers have been selling the powder seasoning by drying and pulverizing Letinus edodes including stipe to develop value added, late harvested Letinus edodes and its stipe these days. This study was conducted to investigate and compare the nutritional composition of Letinus edodes harvested at different times (early: E, late: L) and separated by part (cap: C, stipe: S). The 4 kinds of materials were named as early harvested cap (EC) and stipe (ES), and late harvested cap (LC) and stipe (LS) samples were obtained from Mungyeong City Agricultural Technology & Extension Center. The composition analysis of the nutrients in the 4 materials was conducted by using the AOAC method. The proximate components (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, and carbohydrates), minerals and vitamin content were measured. Nutritional composition of Lentinus edodes did not show any significant difference between early and late harvested mushrooms. Nutritional compositions were different according to part. The results demonstrate that the late harvested stipe can also be used as a quality food material.
