We aim to elucidate suitable color of light during development of fruit body in Pleurotus eryngii. The four color of LED(Light Emitting Diode), blue LED(475nm), green LED(525nm), yellowed LED(590nm), and red LED(660nm), were irradiated for formation of fruit body after mycelia growth. First, as effect of color of LED at all growth stage, the morphological properties of fruit body in fluorescent lamp and blue LED irradiation were showed thicker and longer pileus than those in other color LED irradiation. The commercial yields in blue and green LED treatment were similar to control(Fluorescent lamp). Second, as effect of color of LED by light irradiation time, we could obtain the highest commercial yields at the green LED continuous radiation, 1/1 and 1/2(lighting/lighting-out, hours). And we could obtain the highest number of available stipes and biological efficiency at the 1/1(lighting/lighting-out, hours). The ergosterol was the highest under the green LED continuous radiation.

We found about cultivation environment conditions of N. lepideus. For the high quality of N. lepideus, lights-out was useful. In the lights-out, the diameter of pileus of N. lepideus was smaller, and the length and the thickness of stipes were longer and larger than in that of lighting. For the efficient cultivation of N. lepideus, temperature of mycelial growth and development of the fruit body were suitable 20～23℃ and 20℃, respectively. In addition, we found higher yield and better quality of N. lepideus at 1,500～2,000ppm of CO2 concentration during the development of fruit body.
