The effects of punching treatment on mycelial culture and fruiting body productivity were investigated in a new Lentinula edodes cultivar, “Jadam”, in sawdust medium for the stable production of oak mushroom. As the punching volume and number increased, the weight loss rate and color difference increased and the L value decreased. After spawn inoculation, the sawdust medium temperature and CO2 concentration reached their highest values at 33 and 19 days of incubation, respectively. The O2 concentration showed the lowest value on the 14th day of incubation, which was the opposite pattern to the CO2 concentration. As the punching volume and the number increased, the medium temperature and O2 concentration increased, and the CO2 concentration decreased. Higher punching volumes and numbers resulted in higher temperatures and lower CO2 concentrations. The best fruiting body yield was 5 × 70 mm - 30 (punching diameter × depth - number), and the total yield after three cycles was 644.7 g.

A new spore-less cultivar Lentinula edodes ‘Daedam’ was bred from monokaryotic strains of ‘LE15401-24’ and ‘LE192118-10’. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth of ‘Daedam’ on potato dextrose agar was 22~25oC. Total cultivation period of the new cultivar, from inoculation to its first harvest, was 134 days, similar to that of the control cultivar ‘Hwadam’. Total yield of ‘Daedam’ was 222g per 3kg substrate, and was lower than that of control cultivar(266.0g). The fruiting body of ‘Daedam’ had a thick and small pileus and a longer stem compare to control cultivar. As a result of a analyzing the productivity of ‘Daedam’ on the different substrate types, the biological efficiency was 26.7% in the 1.2kg cylindrical substrate(CS), which was higher than that of the 3kg rod-type substrate(RS). 'Daedam' had a similar yield compared to 'Hanacham' in first fruiting body production, but the cultivation period was 40 days shorter. Therefore, 'Daedam' can only harvest fruiting bodies once, it is thought that it can be used as spore-less oak mushroom cultivar for short-term cultivation instead of 'Hanacham' in mushroom farms.

This study was conducted to reduce the phenomenon of the biased cultivation of certain mushroom varieties and to develop a competitive variety of Pleurotus nebrodensis. We have collected and tested characteristics of genetic resources from domestic and overseas varieties since 2015. We bred the domestic variety ‘Boram’. The optimal temperature was 26~29oC for mycelial growth and 15~18oC for fruit body growth temperature. This variety was similar to the control variety (Uram) in terms of the number of cultivation days and yield per bottle. The shape of the new cultivar was round, whereas that of the control group was spatula-like. The yield was 181.1 g/bottle, which was statistically similar to that of the control variety. When incubating the parent and control varieties, the replacement line was clear. Moreover, polymerase chain reaction analysis of mycelial DNA resulted in different band patterns between the parent and control varieties, confirming the hybrid species.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of REDD+ activities such as education, cookstove incentives and Community Forestry (CF) membership on poverty alleviation through the mediating effects of social capital, including network, trust, cooperation and social inclusion. We collected data through a field survey from randomly selected 335 households in the REDD+ pilot sites, including Kyauktaga and Minhla townships in Bago Province, Myanmar. The relationship between variables was analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that social capital has significant impact on poverty reduction. Specifically, social inclusion showed a direct impact on poverty reduction. While REDD+ activities such as education and CF membership had impacts on income generation, the impacts were insufficient to realize poverty alleviation. Forest dependents are relatively poor, which implies that forest activities are limited in achieving poverty alleviation through income level improvement. We found that the intervention of the REDD+ program on local communities may contribute to the accumulation of social capital, thereby reducing poverty.

The oyster mushroom is a widely cultivated edible mushroom in Korea. It is a regionally specialized crop in Gyeonggi-do, where 68% of the national production is produced. The present study was conducted to develop a new, highquality cultivar with stable cultivation. ‘Manseon’ is a new variety of oyster mushroom suitable for bottle culture. It was produced by mating monokaryons isolated from ‘HB-18’ and ‘P15159-16’. The optimal temperature for ‘Manseon’ mycelial growth was 26–29 °C on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium and for primordia formation and the growth of fruit bodies the optimal temperature was 18–19 °C on sawdust medium. Spawn running required 30 d, primordia formation required 4 d, and fruit body growth in the bottle culture required 4 d. Regarding the characteristics of the fruit bodies, the pilei were round and dark grayish brown, stipe color was white, and stipe shape was short and thick. The yield per bottle was 192.7 g/1,100 cc, which was 9% higher than that of the control strain (Suhan-1ho). The physical properties of springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness of stipe tissue were 87.9%, 77.4%, 445.1 kgf, and 389.6 kgf, respectively.

The present study investigated the optimum additive ratio of wheat straw pellet as a substitute for beet pulp during oyster mushroom cultivation. The chemical properties across treatments were pH of 4.8–5.5, total carbon content of 45.9–46.5%, total nitrogen content of 1.5–1.7%, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 27.8–31.0. Mycelial growth was the fastest in a medium containing 20% wheat straw pellet (at 88.2 mm in ‘Heuktari’ and 70.3–79.6 mm in ‘Suhan-1Ho’); however, there were no significant differences in mycelial density among the treatments. The characteristics of fruiting bodies by variety were as follows. In ‘Heuktari’, the valid stipe number per bottle (1,100 cc) was 22.5 and yield was 177.1 g/1,100 cc in the mixed medium containing 10% wheat straw pellet, with the values being comparable to those of controls. In ‘Suhan-1Ho’, the valid stipe number per bottle (1,100 cc) was 14.0 and yield was 151.2 g/1,100 cc in the mixed medium containing 10% wheat straw pellet, with the values being comparable to those of controls.

Mushroom production in Korea is concentrated on five major mushroom types. To create a new source of income for farmers, it is necessary to establish new mushroom production and marketing systems. This study was conducted to evaluate the marketability of and establish a marketing strategy for Pleurotus nebrodensis variety 'Uram'. The evaluation of distributors showed that it was necessary to cultivate mushrooms of uniform shape and size, to compensate for their low storability, and to sell them in small packages. The consumer evaluation showed that the texture of P. nebrodensis had the highest level of satisfaction for quality, but the levels of satisfaction for size and shape were low. In the consumer evaluation, as in the distributor evaluation, improvements in cultivation were found to be necessary, as the storage time is short due to a high moisture content. An evaluation of the market gave the following results regarding the marketing strategy. It was found to be necessary to consider the production of mushrooms of a uniform shape and size and sell them in small packages in the range of 150 to 300 g. The price of the mushrooms should be set using a high-end strategy for high-end sales. The mushrooms should be introduced to local food and eco-friendly stores in the early stages of production. Subsequently, if farmhouse production increases, shipments should be made to wholesale markets through a regular contract. Finally, considering that P. nebrodensis is an unfamiliar mushroom to consumers, it is necessary to promote it by increasing the accessibility of consumers through tasting events and experience groups.

This study was conducted to investigate the optimum supplementation ratio when replacing cotton seed meal with rapeseed meal for cultivating oyster mushrooms. The chemical properties among the treatments were pH 4.5~4.7, total carbon content was 46.3~46.5%, total nitrogen content was 1.6~1.7%, and carbon-nitrogen ratio was 27.0~27.8. These did not differ significantly from the control. Mycelial growth was 85.1 mm (Heuktari), and 72.8 mm (Suhan-1Ho) in medium containing 5% rapeseed meal, with no significant difference in mycelial density between cultivars. Fruiting body characteristics are as follows: In 'Heuktari', the color of the pileus was darker than control with an L value of 32.5, and pileus thickness and diameter were 3.2 mm and 27.6 mm, respectively. Stipe length and diameter were 86.0 mm and 9.1 mm, respectively. Valid stipe number per bottle (1,100 cc) was 25.9, and a yield of 189.7 g/1,100 cc was recorded in mixed medium containing 5% rapeseed meal (higher than control). In mixed medium containing 10% rapeseed meal, the yield was 184.5 g/1,100 cc (comparable to control). In 'Suhan-1Ho', supplemented with 5% rapeseed meal, pileus color was darker than control color, with an L value of 28.8. Pileus thickness was 4.5 mm. Stipe diameter was 12.3 mm (higher than control), and yield was 145.5 g/1,100 cc (comparable to control).

팽이버섯 재배사의 Listera속 미생물 살균을 위하여 공기 살균 장치가 부착된 파일럿 버섯 재배사를 개발하여 물리적, 화학적 살균처리에 대한 살균 효과 검증실험을 수행하였다. 파일럿 버섯 재배사의 내부 온도는 상부 6.62˚C±0.30, 중간 6.46˚C±0.24, 하부 6.48˚C±0.25, 습도 는 79.97%±4.42, 79.43%±4.06, 79.94±4.30%로 설정 온도 6.5˚C, 상대습도 75%에 근사하게 제어되었다. 공기 살균 장치 적용에 적합한 팽이버섯 재배단계는 생육단계 조건인 온도 6.5~8.5˚C, 습도 70~80% 범위였고 유사 조건에서 이온 클러스터 발생기의 오존 발생농도는 160 ppb 수준으로 나타났다. 물리적 살균처리 후 Listeria innocua 의 생존율은 이온클러스터 살균의 경우 0.1~0.9%, UV공 기 살균은 9.3~10.6%로 나타났고, 화학적 살균처리인 75% 에탄올과 3% 유기산 수용액 처리구에서는 모두 사멸하는 것으로 나타났다. 소재에 대한 Listeria innocua 생존율은 금속시편의 경우 9.3~10.6%, 플라스틱 권지 9.9~16.2%로 나타났는데, 특히 권지의 거친면에서 생존율이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 버섯 재배사의 Listeria균 발생을 억제하기 위해서 금속 소재로 구성된 재배사 벽면과 재배 선반에 대해서는 이온클러스터 공기 살균처리가 노동력을 절감하면서 살균 가능한 방법이며, 플라스틱 재질의 권지의 경우 화학적 살균처리가 효과적 인 것으로 나타났다.

본 시험은 재배과정 중 배지에서 분리한 미생물의 특성을 조사하여 이들 미생물과 버섯균의 생육과 연관관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 짚, 계분 등 배지 재료에서 분리한 미생 물의 양송이 균주에 대한 억제 정도는 국내 육성 양송이 균주가 외국에서 수입한 양송이 균주 보다 생육 억제 정도가 낮은 경향을 보였다. 양송이 배지 발효 단계별 분리 미생물의 양송이 품종간 균사 생육 억제 정도는 국내 육성 품종인 새도가 다른 품종보다는 생육이 좋았다. 그리고 발효과정이 진행됨에 따라 버섯균에 대한 억제 정도는 약해지는 경향을 보였다. 양송이 배지에서 분리한 미생물을 합성배지(CDA)에 도말한 뒤 버섯균사를 접종하여 균사의 생육을 조사한 결과와 분리균을 도말하고 항온기에서 2일간 배양한 후 배지를 완전히 뒤집어 배지의 뒷면 중앙에 버섯 균사를 접종하여 균사 생육을 조사한 결과를 비교 분석한 결과 양송이균의 생육 정도가 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 보아 양송이 배지에서 분리한 미생물은 분비성 물질을 통해서 버섯균의 생육과 증식에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 양송이 균의 생육을 촉진하는 미생물을 분리한 결과 21균주가 선발되었고 대부분 4차 뒤집기 이후에서 많이 선발되었다. 대표적인 균주로는 Alcaligenes faecalis B-4-28, Comamonas testosteroni B- 4-31, Acinetobacter soli B-4-40 등이 있다.

버섯은 대부분 시설에서 재배되기 때문에 안전하게 고품질의 버섯 생산을 위해서는 재배사 내 환경에 대한 정보가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 헤파필터 교체에 따른 큰느타리 재배사 대기중 미생물상 변화를 분석하여 헤파필터 적정 교체기간을 설정하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 헤파필터 교체 전 재배단계별 대기중 세균 및 진균 밀도는 배지제조과정에서 세균 169.7 cfu/m 3 , 진균 570 cfu/m 3 , 균 긁기과정에서 세균 126.3 cfu/m 3 , 진균 560cfu/m 3로 부유균 의 밀도가 가장 높았다. 헤파필터 교체 후 세균의 밀도는 배양실에서 가장 낮아졌고, 진균의 밀도는 냉각실에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 헤파필터 교체전 Cladosporium sp. 등 7속 7종이었고, 교체 후 1개월은 Penicillium sp. 등 6속 6종, 2개월은 Cladosporium cladosporioides 등 4속 7종, 3 개월차는 Mucor plumbeus 등 5속 7종, 4개월에서 6개월까지는 Penicillium brevicompactum 등 각각 5속 12종, 5속 10종, 5속 10종으로 교체 후 기간이 지날수록 종이 다양해지고 증가하였다. 부유균의 밀도는 헤파필터 교체 후 2개월 후 가장 낮았고 차츰 증가하다가 6개월에는 교체전 밀도와 비슷해지거나 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 헤파필터는 6개월마다 교체하는 것이 오염저감을 위해 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.

본 실험은 농가 관행인 굴삭기 뒤집기와 자주식교반기를 이용한 뒤집기 비교 시험을 통해 발효단계별 배지의 특성을 조사하였다. 야외발효배지의 온도는 자주식교반기 처리에서 뒤집기 후 온도 상승이 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 후발효배지의 온도는 농가관행인 굴삭기 처리구에서 온도가 높게 유지되면서 후발효과 진행되었다. 야외발효 단계에서 배지에는 고온성 세균 (Bacillus spp.), 방선균, 형광성 Pseudomonas 속, 사상균 등 다양한 미생물들이 분포 하였고, 특히 배지발효 과정에서 배지의 분해와 발열에 관여하는 호기성 세균의 밀도는 자주식교반기 처리구에서 상대적으로 높았고, 고온성 발효과정 중 푸른곰팡이균과 중온성 방선균은 생육이 억제되거나 사멸되는 양상을 보였다. 유기물을 분해하는데 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 고온성 방선균은 자주식교반기 처리에서 농가관행보다 높은 밀도를 보였다. 처리별 볏짚의 길이는 자주식교반기를 사용하였을 경우 조금 짧았고, 수분함량은 처리간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. pH와 EC는 처리간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았고, a, b값은 자주식교반기에 의한 뒤집기가 진행될수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 발효 단계별 배지의 CN율을 조사한 결과 농가관행인 굴삭기의 경우 23.1에서 시작하여 5차 뒤집기에서는 16.2까지 낮아 졌고, 자주식교반기의 경우 23.3에서 16.9로 낮아 졌다. 따라서 처리간에는 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 처리별 수확량을 조사한 결과 1주기에서는 자주식교반기 처리에서 20% 의 증수효과가 있었고, 2주기에서는 28%, 3주기에서는 26%의 증수효과가 있었으며, 전체적으로 23%의 수량 증대효과가 있었다.
