Some properties of cellulase and xylanase produced from Pleurotus ostreatus 301 and Lentinus edodes 3-1 during its growth in rice straw medium were investigated. The cellulase activities of P. ostreatus 301 and L. edodes 3-1 were increased in proportion to substrate concentration within 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively, and xylanase activities of two strains were increased within 1%. The reducing sugar production of cellulase and xylanase in two strains were proportionaly increased until 30 min. and 60 min. respectively. The opium pH for cellulase activities of P. ostreatus 301 and L. edodes 3-1 were pH 4.0 and pH 4.5, respectively, and xylanase activities of two strains were pH 5.0. The stable pH range for cellulase activities of P. ostreatus 301 was within 4.0 to 6.0 and L. edodes 3-1 was within 3.0 to 5.0, Xylanase activities of P. ostreatus 301 was within 4.5 to 6.0 and L. edodes 3-1 was within 3.5 to 6.0. The optium temperature for cellulase activities of P. ostraeatus 301 and L. edodes 3-1 were $40^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively, but xylanase activities of P. ostreatus 301 and L. edodes 3-1 were $50^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thermal stability of enzymes were below of optimum temperature and these were mostly inactivate at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 min of the metalic ions tested, cellulase activities of L. edodes 3-1 was increased by $Co^{++},\; Mg^{++}$ at the concentration of $10^{-2}M$, but were greatly inhibited by $Hg^{++},\;Cu^{++}$ in two strains. Xylanase activities were increased by $Ca^{++},\;Co^{++},\;Mg^{++}$ and $Cd^{++}$ but was greatly inhibited by $Hg^{++}$.

For the development of a sporeless strain of P. ostreatus we used sporeless strain ASI 2069. We have recovered both nuclear types of strain ASI 2069 as monokaryons of nh9, nh15, nh26 and nh36 (here after referred to as neohaplonts) by protoplasting the mycelium. Crosses between neohaplonts and SSI's(single spore isolates) obtained from a sporulating commercial strain ASI 2180. Five excellent strains are selected from 30 bred strains by quality of fruitbodies and spore number. To development of molecular markers linked to sporeless strain of P. ostreatus, we are screened helicase, recombinase(DMC1) and topoisomerase(Spo11) genes related meiosis by PCR and sequencing. Among three genes, Spo11 gene was identified into molecular marker of sporeless from neohaplonts and bred strains of P. ostreatus.

The aims of this study were to investigate the biological activities and amino acid contents of fermentation ethanol and sodium extracts from five edible mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus ostreatus, Flammulina velutipes, Lentinula edodes, and Agaricus bisporus). DPPH radical scavenging activities in 30% fermentation ethanol extracts of P. eryngii and P. ostreatus were significantly higher than those in sodium extracts (p<0.05). Nitrite scavenging activities were also higher in the 30% fermentation ethanol extracts of P. eryngii and P. ostreatus. The total polyphenol contents of P. eryngii, P. ostreatus, and F. velutipes were high in 70% fermentation ethanol extracts. The analysis of amino acids revealed that the 70% fermentation ethanol extract of P. eryngii had the highest content of total amino acids, with higher phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, and tyrosine contents higher than the other extracts. In all the extracts of P. ostreatus, glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid. The 5% NaCl and 30% fermentation ethanol extracts of F. velutipes contained abundant glutamic acid, alanine, and proline. Glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid in the 70% and 30% fermentation ethanol extracts of L. edodes. In the 5% NaCl extracts of A. bisporus, glutamic acid and alanine were abundant. Thus, maximum biological and nutritional ingredients can be extracted using the optimal solvents for each type of mushroom.

This study was carried out to investigate applicability of Spent Mushroom Media(SMM) as horticultural nursery media. After the mushroom has been harvested, the SMM contains a lot of organic material, different microorganism and high density of mushroom hypha. The pH, phosphate and exchangeable cation concentrations of SMM of Flammulina velutipes were higher than those of any other treatment. The CEC and $NH_4-N$ were the highest in SMM of bottle-cultivated oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Bacteria and fungi showed the highest density in SMM of Flammulina velutipes. Most dominant bacteria were Microbacterium sp., Rhodococcus sp. and Agrobacterium sp. in SMM of Flammulina velutipes and Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., Curtobacterium sp. and Microbacterium sp. in that of Pleurotus eryngii. The SMM contained high density of mushroom hypha that inhibited germination of seed and growth of young seedlings. Therefore, composting process of the SMM is indispensible to decline of vitality of mushroom hypha. The SMM of Flammulina velutipes with 0~30% vermiculite showed high germination rate in red pepper and chinese cabbage seeds. SMM of Pleurotus eryngii with 20% vermiculite showed 100% germination rate in red pepper seeds, but chinese cabbage seeds nearly failed to germinate with 30% vermiculite. The growth of red pepper was increased according to increasing mixture ratio of vermiculite. Accordingly, we concluded that SMM of Flammulina velutipes contained 0~30% of vermiculite can be used to horticultural growth bed for red pepper.

Three fractions-neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids were obtained from total lipids in cultivated mushrooms(Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus sajor-caju) and wild mushrooms (Ramaria botrytis and Lactarius volemus), and their lipid compositions and fatty acid compositions were determined by means of silicic acid column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and gas liquid chromatography. The total lipid contents in mushrooms were $0.32{\sim}0.39%$(wet basis). It was found that the contents of phospholipids$(19.4{\sim}47.4%)$ and neutral lipids$(32.1{\sim}51.9%)$ were high, while that of glycolipids$(14.8{\sim}28.7%)$ were low. The main lipid in neutral lipids was triglyceride$(21.2{\sim}38.2%)$ followed by free sterol$(21.0{\sim}21.9%)$, sterol ester$(10.3{\sim}18.6%)$, but the main lipid in neutral lipid of Pleurotus sajor-caju was free fatty acid(34.1%). The main lipid in glycolipids was steryl glycoside$(15.6{\sim}29.4%)$ followed by esterified steryl glycoside$(13.4{\sim}23.9%)$, monogalactosyl diglyceride$(15.6{\sim}24.6%)$. Among the phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline$(36.7{\sim}49.5%)$, phosphatidyl ethanolamine$(20.9{\sim}29.7%)$, phosphatidyl inositol$(18.4{\sim}26.1%)$ were the major components. The major fatty acid of total lipids was linoleic acid followed by palmitic acid, oleic acid. Fatty acid composition was not significantly different among total lipids, neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids contained in tested mushrooms but the main fatty acid in neutral lipid of Ramaria botrytis was oleic acid(48.7%).

A new method to utilize spent mushroom substrates (SMS) for ethanol production was investigated. Analysis of the chemical properties of SMS revealed that they were decomposed by the mushrooms during cultivation. In particular, the free sugar content in SMS was reduced to half of that in mushrooms. Of the tested SMS, the Pleurotus eryngii SMS was determined to be suitable for saccharification. Upon pretreatment with a 1% alkaline solution, Pleurotus eryngii SMS achieved 80.7% of its maximum saccharification ratio. The optimum pretreatment conditions for enzyme saccharification were 1% NaOH solution at $120^{\circ}$ for 60 min. Further studies are required to determine ethanol production using Pleurotus eryngii SMS.
