Lentinula edodes are mainly used for cultivation and food in Korea. Consumption is gradually increasing with the characteristic smell and taste. In addition, anti-cancer effect, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other effects have been proven to be a functional food. The cultivation method of highland rice changed from lumber to sawdust bag. Thus, a browned step is required so that the surface of the medium can act like a tree epidermis. The browned medium is not easily contaminated with other bacteria even when in contact with the outside air. It is also a necessary step because it suppresses evaporation of water in the medium and helps mushroom production. But it takes a very long time to browning. Therefore, it is necessary to study the browning of the medium during the cultivation of the altitude. Therefore, the color of the Lab color was measured using a colorimeter to determine the browning efficiency of the medium by LED light source type and intensity. The varieties were Nongjingo and Sanjo-701. The LED light sources were divided into upper, middle, and lower by setting the blue, green, white, and red colors at 100 to 500 ㏓. L values of light source showed the greatest decrease in blue color, followed by white, green and red. It was confirmed that the L value of Sanjo 701 was lower than that of Nongjingo. The decrease of L value by the type of light source showed the same tendency as Nongjingo, and blue was the most decreased, followed by white, green and red.
