Abstract: Woodear has been cultivated by an ancient method for several hundreds of years in China (Singer, 1961; Lou, 1978; Cheng and Tu, 1978). The logs were felled and infected by the naturally dispersed spores and mycelia of Auricularia spp. sometimes the logs were then covered with straw or piled in the shade; the fruit bodies then would appear in suitable rainy seasons. They were collected and dried. Though the new cultivation techniques of inoculating with artificial spawn have been adapted over ten years in China (Lou, 1978), the special characters and experiences of these new techniques have not yet combined into an ideal system. So we designed and tested the plastic shed method during 1974- 1978, since it may be an available method.
