To investigate the effects of the sawdust size and the low temperature treatments on the mycelia in media in the fruit bodies formation of the winter mushroom (Flammulina velutipes), two yellow types (YA1 and YA0) were cultvated. The results were as follows.
1.In the cultivation of mushroom, the media prepared with coarse sawdust (size of 0.85-2.00mm) were more effective in mycelia growth, while less effective in the length of stipes, the number and weight of the fruit bodies formation than the media prepared with fine sawdust (size of 0.05-0.84mm).
2.the media placed at 11˚-15℃ after low temperature treatment of 3˚-4℃ in 7 days to promote the rudiments formation of fruit bodies were more effective in the number of fruit bodies formation but did not effect in another cultural characteristies.
3.YA1 compared with YA0 was reduced in the weight of fruit bodies formation since YA1 had small pileus, thin stipes and short stipes. However, there was no significant difference in the number of fruit bodies formation, the number of days required for mycelial growth and rudiments formation of fruit bodies.
4.In the preparation of sawdust media, it was considered that mixture of different size sawdust were more suitable than uniform size.
