| Abstract: | Antrodia cinnamomea belonging to Fungi, Basidiomycota, Basidiomycetes, Polyporales, Polyporaceae, Antrodia, is a special fungus only found in Taiwan . A. cinnamomea normally used as the healthy food is rarely and difficultly cultivated, therefore, price of A.cinnamomea fruiting body is much higher than those of other
mushrooms. This studies were trying to understand the effect of environment and culture substrates on the mycelial growth of A.cinnamomea AC 11 strain .The results revealed that the best temperature was 28℃, best medium was PDA, and best pH value was 5.5 . The higher proportion of antrodia sawdust extract replaced water of PDA resulted in better mycelial growth of A. cinnamomea 100% of antrodia sawdust extract was the best replacement of water in PDA .
Different proportion of brown rice , buckwheat or barley powder was added to PDA for studying the effect of mycelial growth of A.cinnamomea AC 11 revealed that 40% of buckwheat , brown rice or barley powder was the best treatment .Studies on imported camphor (from Laos country) sawdust was added with different nutrients revealed that 21% of wheat middlings was the test supplement and proportion , where as the imported camphor mixed with Taiwan camphor sawdust showed the test added nutrient was 21% of rice bran；best nutrient for single Taiwan camphor sawdust was 21% of corn meal. A.cinnamomea AC 11 cultured in test tube of sawdust substrates studies revealed that the non-camphor sawdust could inhibit the mycelial growth of A.cinnamomea AC 11.Imported camphor wood filled with different media studies showed that the best formula was the imported camphor 78% , PDB 21% , CaCO3 1%. The best formula to camphor wood filled with different media was Taiwan camphor sawdust 78% , PDB 21% , CaCO3 1%. The best temperature studies for mycelial growth of A. cinnamomea AC 11 on substrates of Taiwan camphor 78% , water 21%, CaCO3 1% was 28℃. |
