Abstract: The mycelium of various kinds of mushrooms can be grown readily in aerated, liquid culture (culture submergée). Under these conditions only pellets of mycelium (not the fleshy spore structures) are produced. Forms which we have grown in this way include the commercial mushroom, Agaricus campestris (a Basidiomycete); the edible morel, Morchella hortensis (an Ascomycete); the truffle fungi, Tuber melanosporum and related species (Ascomycetes); and various species of Polyporus, Fomes, Hydnum, Porta and other «woodrotting fungi» (Basidiomycetes), the spore structures of a few of which are edible.
