摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: METHOD OF CULTIVATING GANODERMA LUCIDUM (FR.) KARST. A fruit body of Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karst. having a long stipe is prepared by the method of the invention comprising the following steps; (a) cultivating a seed culture of a Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karst. strain in an artificial solid medium to obtain a fungal tissue bed, (b) maintaining the fungal tissue bed at a humidity of at least 90 % and an illumination intensity of at most 500 1x to form selectively a primordium of fruit body from the fungal tissue bed, and (c) maintaining the resulting culture at a humidity of from 40 to lower than 90 % and an illumination intensity of at least 500 1x to form a fungal pileus of the fruit body from the primordium.
