Optimization of Selected Growth Parameters for Sparassis crispa

Mycelial growth rates of Sparassis crispa on potato dextrose agar were maximal over the temperature range 22-24 ℃.Mushroom fruit body yields were highest when the water content of the cultivation substrate(consisting of 76%sawdust,18% wheat bran,2% corn meal,1.5%sucrose,1.5% gypsum,1%calcium superphosphate)was～65%and the loading capacity was 900g/bag.
