Nutritional characteristics and conditions for mycelial yield of Pleurotus ostreatus and Auricularia auricula-judae in shaking culture were investigated. Among the sugar substances, glucose and mannitol showed the good effect for mycelial yield of P. ostreatus, and mannitol and fructose were good for the mycelial yield of A. auricula-judae. Among the various organic acids, fumaric acid were good for the mycelial yield of P. ostreatus and A. auricula-judae. Among the nitrogen sources, peptone and urea showed the good result for mycelial yield of P. ostreatus, and peptone and casamino acid were good for mycelial yield of A. auricula-judae. Among the various amino acids, asparagin and threonine showed the good result for mycelial yield of P. ostreatus, and serine and threonine were good for mycelial yield of A. auricula-judae. Among the various vitamins, folic acid and thiamine were suitable for mycelial yield of P. ostreatus, and folic acid, inositol and riboflavin were suitable for mycelial yield of A. auricula-judae. Mycelial yield of P. ostreatus and A. auricula-judae were enhanced by the addition of $MgSO_4\;and\;KH_2PO_4$ at the concentration of 0.08 and 0.2% respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for mycelial yield were from $25\;to\;30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5 to 6.5 in P. ostreatus, and from $25\;to\;30^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0 to 7.0 in A. auricula-judae.

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.

Ergone, a fungal metabolite derived from ergosterol, was previously isolated and identified from Polyporus umbellatus. Ergone is a major component of P. umbellatus known to have anti-aldosteronic diuretic effect and also displays cytotoxic activities. Most of mushroom's fruit bodies used for test contained less than 10 ${\mu}g/g$ of ergone. But P. umbellatus have larger amount of ergone than any other mushrooms. In order to improve the ergone production from the submerged culture of P. umbellatus, several factors including medium composition, culture conditions (temperature and pH) and different combinations of co-cultivation with various mycelia were studied. Among various carbon sources examined, starch proved to be most effective for the production of mycelia. The optimum pH and temperature for a flask culture of P. umbellatus mycelia were found to be 4.5 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the optimized culture conditions, both the ergone production (86.9 ${\mu}g/g$) and mycelial growth (3.5 g/l) increased when P. umbellatus was cultured with Armillariella mellea. When the optimized conditions were applied, both mycelium and ergone production were significantly enhanced.

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.

A new synthetic medium was developed for the submerged mycelial cultures of Phellinus linteus. The medium for maximum mycelial growth of Phellinus linteus (3 days incubation, 28$^{\circ}C$, pH 5) consisted of (per 1 L): glucose, 90 g peptone, 10 g soluble starch, 10 g yeast extract, 3 g KH2PO4, 1 g MgSO4.7H2O, 1 g and CaCl2, 0.1 g. The concentrations of glucose, peptone, yeast extract, KH2PO4, MgSO4.7H2O, and CaCl2 were examined in the ranges of 10~90 g/L, 0~10 g/L, 0~15 g/L, 0~2 g/L, 0~1 g/L, and 0~0.5 g/L, respectively. The dry weight of mycelium in 3 days increased to 16.79 mg/mL using the new synthetic medium. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth of Phellinus linteus was 28$^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of KH2OP4, CaCl2, and yeast extract, which gave the maximum mycelial growth of Phellinus linteus, existed in the concentration ranges examined in this study. But, in the cases of other compositions (MgSO4.7H2O, peptone, and glucose), the mycelial growth of Phellinus linteus increased with the concentration in the ranges.
