Resource collection and characterization of Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum, a popular medicinal mushroom, has been used in China for longevity and health promotion since ancient times. Recently it is being used as a good pharmaceutical material or functional bio-material. Total 106 strains was cultured at temperature(25 ℃, 30 ℃ ,35 ℃) to study cultural properties of Ganoderma lucidum. Then the mycelium growth was digitized in the average diameter. With the result, Ganoderma lucidum strain has the optimum growing temperature at 25 ℃ with 25 strains, 30 ℃ with 70 strains and 35 ℃ with 11 strains. The 84strains were cultivated in wood for investigating the cultivation properties of Ganoderma lucidum. With the result, 70mm~90mm of the pileus diameter (major axis, mm) and 70mm-80mm of pileus diameter (minor axis, mm) was measured after one year cultivation. And 1,000-2,000 ㎟ of strain took the most the area (major axis x minor axis). The 30-40mm of stipe length,1time of harvesting and volume was 200g~400g took the most. 10cm-15cm of the pileus diameter (major axis, mm), 5cm~7.5cm of pileus diameter (minor axis, mm) and 15-20mm of thickness was measured after 2 year cultivation. And 50~100 ㎟ of strain took the most the area (major axis x minor axis). The 5-10mm of stipe length, 2 times of harvesting and volume was 200g~400g took the most. we are selected a middle model through this result. phylogenetic relationships was drawn based on the ITS sequence analysis in Ganoderma lucidum.
