Suitable conditions for post-incubation of Hypsizigus marmoreus by bottle cultivation

Recently, Hypsizigus marmoreus is noticed as new mushroom item in Korea. However, this mushroom has the long incubation period about 80 days including pre-incubation period. This study was attempted to establish the optimal post-incubation temperature and period of Hypsizigus marmoreus for bottle cultivation. The most effective post-incubation temperature and period were 25℃ and 20days, respectively. The higher yield was obtained under 25℃ for 20 day after 30 days of pre-incubation. Therefore, total cultivation period was shortened from 106 days (control) to 78days. It is useful information to increase rotation time of cultivation for effective management in H. marmoreus.
