Block-formed basidiomycete and a method of cultivation for the same

Abstract

The block-formed basidiomycete of the present invention is formed by a block of basidiomycetous spawns, and its upper face which is opposite the side of the root section is a cut face or formed like a surface of cauliflowers or broccolis. Spawns agglutinate to one another to form a block, preferably, they extend from the root side upward almost in parallel and agglutinate. The method of cultivating the block-formed basidiomycete comprises following steps: (a) Filling media in a cultivation bottle; (b) sterilizing the media; (c) inoculating seed spawns on the media to cultivate spawns; (d) removing part of the seed spawns to form a bed after the cultivation; (e) producing many projected primordia as spawn tissues on the bed by propagating the spawns in a vegetation room after forming the bed; and (f) agglutinating the primorida by plumping them, the primordia being formed by suppressing the production of the fruit bodies under the condition of a shortage of oxygen and a surplus of carbon dioxide gas after producing the primorida.
