Abstract: Results of research on the bamboo long shirt mushroom (Dictyophora indusiata), Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellata) and drumstick mushroom (Coprinus comatus) are presented. The conditions for growing these three edible and medicinal species are best in China and California where the weather conditions are optimal for all three species. Detailed information on cultivation strains, spawn production and substrates, pH, temperature, humidity, and nutrition requirements for each species will be presented. Research has shown that Dictyophora cultivation requires special techniques: (1) inoculation of the tough mycelium with a "sharper applicable tool," and (2) careful management of the fruiting stage during which the basidiocarp (egg) breaks and cast skirts. Zhu Ling cultivation requires selected high-quality sclerotia and cultivated rhizomorph logs. New data show that Coprinus comatus mycelium grown on com media, rapidly produces spawn. Liquefaction of fruiting bodies at outdoor production can be prevented by effective growing measures.
