Anticancer effect having mycelium is prepd. by culturing Phellinus linteus (Berk et Curt). Aoshima in principally dried and powdered sapling of mulberry contg. medium, and collecting mycelium. Pref. glucose is added to the medium other than common components. According to this invention, mass prodn. of anticancer effect having mycelium of Phellinus linteus is possible. By adding glucose to the medium, growth rate of mycelia is accelerated. In an example small pieces of fruit bodies of Phellinus linteus were cultered on agar medium. Mycelia were transplanted to medium at 20-28 deg.C, humidity 70% - 90% for 60 days to obtain mycelia.
