Morphological and culture characteristics of the novel Phellinus linteus variant KACC93057P collected in Korea were characterized in this study. The surface of the wasangular, sessile, tough-woody, concentrically zonate, and dark brown in color. Basidiocarppores were circular, with 5–7 pores per mm. The hyphal system was dimitic, and basidiospores were ellipsoid or oval, 4.5–6 × 4–5, exhibiting characteristics typical of P. linteus. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was 25–30oC, and optimal pH for growth was 5–7. The mycelial growth rate of P. linteus KACC93057P was faster than that of other P. baumii isolates. On growth medium, KACC93057P formed aerial mycelia with density higher than that of other isolates. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-ribosomal DNA sequences were closely related to the sequences P. linteus complex.

큰느타리 (Pleurotus eryngii), 표고 (Lentinula edodes ), 노루궁뎅이 (Hericium erinaceus ) 버섯 수확 후 배지 (spent mushroom substrate, SMS) 물 추출액(SMSE)의 고추생장촉진과 고추역병균 억제효과를 조사하였다. 큰느타리버섯, 표고버섯 및 노루궁뎅이버섯 SMSE는 유묘생장시에 잎폭, 잎장, 초장, 절간, 절수 등에서 대조구에 비하여 모두 11~41%로 평균 20% 이상의 높은 생육효과가 있었으며 잎수에서는 거의 1.5배 높게 나타났다. 노루궁뎅이 SMSE혼합 PDA배지는 고추역병균사 성장을 거의 99-100% 억제하였다. 큰느타리, 표고버섯 및 노루궁뎅이 SMSE는 고추역병에 대하여 각각 25%, 65% 75%이상의 방제효과를 보였다.
