침버섯 자실체는 원기형성일로부터 exp{b2 * ln(t)2 + b1* ln(t)}의 생장곡선을 그리면서 성장하는 것으로 나타났으며 재배후 20일째에는 생장 임계선을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 생장 임계선이 20일째 나타나지만 재배 14일째부터는 다당류의 감소현상이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 이로 인해 재배후 14~15일(자실체 생중량 150 g)째가 최적 수확시기로 사료된다. 이는 Choi et al. (2011)이 연구하여 발표하였던 침버섯의 균사 생장 패턴과 유사하며 배양시기별 기능성 단백질을 생산하는 양에 차이가 있는 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 Park et al. (2004)는 표고버섯에서 채취 시기별 영양소 차이가 존재하지 않지만 부위별 영양소 차이가 존재한다고 하였다. 침버섯은 시기별 생장하는 부위가 다르기에 시기에 따른 기능성 단백질 차이가 아닌 세부 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이로 본 연구와 같은 결과가 도출되었을 가능성도 배제할 수 없다고 사료된다. Myung-Hee et al. (2012)는 시판 되는 버섯의 부위 중 자실체에 주로 유효성분 이 분포한다고 하였다. 따라서 침버섯의 최적 수확시기는 버섯의 자실체에 해당하는 바늘의 생장이 거의 정지되는 시점이기에 성장 시기별 기능성 물질의 생산량의 차이인지 부위별 유효성분 분포 차이인지를 규명할 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

The volatile aromatic substances from Cinnamomum camphora and C. japonicum among warm-temperate tree species were examined for the physiological and psychological effects on the human body. Each scent of the trees was provided to the test materials. And then their brain wave, pulse rate, aroma sensibility evaluation and POMS were measured as follows. To examine psychological effect of aroma of each tree species on human bodies, aroma sensibility evaluation and POMS were conducted. The result reveals that the aroma of the two tree species were interpreted in terms of comfort, naturalness and stimuli, and that C. camphora shows low level of satisfaction due to strong aroma while C. japonicum is more preferred due to its soft and fragrant aroma. As well, POMS was given to identify subjects' temporary emotional state. The result indicates that C. camphora has higher values in every item than C. japonicum, and that both tree species repress anxiety and depression and create vivacious feelings with higher values in [vivacity] and [anger-hostility] items than [tense-anxiety] and [distress-depression]. To examine the physiological effect of aroma of each tree species, aroma extracted from the two tree species were distributed, and the subjects' brain wave and impulse were measured. The result demonstrates that C. camphor has relaxing effect of increasing α-wave and reducing pulse, and that C. japonicum also has relaxing effect, but the effect is less than that of C. camphora as it reduces pulse though it slightly reduces α-wave. In addition, individual preferences for C. camphora vary as it has big individual deviations vary, but C. japonicum has similar level of preference as its variances are small. The natural and pleasant aroma of these two tree species seem to have tranquilizing effect in both the physiological and psychological aspects and are found to have positive effects of feeling refreshed, feeling enhanced, and so on. In conclusion, there is a sufficient possibility of developing these two aromatic warm-temperate tree species. Also, the importance of such difference between these two tree species lies in the fact that they can set standards for the utilization of warm-temperate forest in the future.
