The method grows a mycelial mass over a three-dimensional lattice such that a dense network of oriented hyphae is formed on the lattice. Growth along the lattice results in mycelium composite with highly organized hyphae strands and allows the design and production of composites with greater strength in chosen directions due to the organized nature of the supporting mycelia structure.

The present invention relates to a method of co-culturing Inonotus obliquus, Ganoderma lucidum, and Phellinus linteus. The co-cultured mycelia prepared through the method of the present invention have high beta-glucan content and thus can exhibit superior health functionality, and can be used as an additive or a cooking seasoning in various foods. In addition, the use of the co-cultured mycelia in curing raw meat enables easy preparation of a meat-based food product that has a good taste and flavor.

An organic growth substrate, which supports mushroom growth from an inoculum of the species to be grown, is disposed within a growing apparatus impervious to microbiological contamination from an external environment and operationally associated with an environmental control apparatus. The environmental control apparatus modulates air, water, thermal, and light inputs to, and outputs from, one or more growing apparatuses to establish and maintain the desired environment within the growing apparatus. The system operates via a plurality of sensing, digital processing and mechanical components governed by software algorithms and operator input. A lyophilizer freeze dries harvested mushrooms for storage stability purposes. The system is configured to exchange information with the operator via a user interface and wireless connection to remote devices.

The invention is a method for enhanced growth of mycelium in culture including the key steps of seed blend choice from among corn, rice, quinoa, chia, canihua, cumin and flax seed, germinating the seed blend prior to inoculating the mycelium starter, and conducting the mushroom cultivation with water and particular transmissions of sound and particularly colored light. Mushrooms grown by such a method not only mature in 13-15 days rather than 21 days, but have an enhanced nutritional and medicinal profile along with absence of unwanted organism contaminants whose unwanted overgrowth occurs during days 16-21 (or days 16-28) of typical mushroom culture.

The present disclosure provides a method for aseptically culturing fruiting bodies of Antrodia cinnamomea, including: inoculating Antrodia cinnamomea strains in a sterilized agar medium, and performing a subculture to generate secondary mycelia and fruiting bodies of Antrodia cinnamomea.

Disclosed herein is an industrial scale process of cultivating cultivating Ganoderma lucidum mycelia. As high as 15 Kg dried Ganoderma lucidum mycelia may be produced from about 300 liters liquid culture every 30 days, and the resulting dried Ganoderma lucidum mycelia are rich in triterpenoids that include at least ganoderic acid S (GAS), ganoderic acid T (GAT), ganoderic acid Me (GAMe), ganoderic acid R (GAR), and ganodermic acid S (GMAS).

Provided is a method of culturing ganoderma lucidum mycelia in which the content of ganodermanondiol serving as an inhibitor to melanin biosynthesis is enhanced to improve skin whitening function.
