Characteristics of a new Grifola frondosa Cultivar “Daebak” with stable pinheading and high yield
Abstract
‘Daebak', a new cultivar of Grifola frondosa, was bred by mating two monokaryotic strains isolated from 'F14309' and 'GMGF44062' at the Mushroom Research Institute, Gyonggi-Do ARES in 2017. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth of ‘Daebak’ was 25oC on PDA medium. In bottle cultivation, the culture period of ‘Daebak’ was 57 days, which was 2 days shorter than that of ‘Cham’ (control). The pinheading rate of ‘Daebak’ was 98.4%, which was 24.8% higher than that of ‘Cham’ and its CV (Coefficient of variation) was 0.6%, 5.3% lower than that of ‘Cham’. Regarding the growth characteristics of ‘Daebak’, the diameter and thickness of the pileus were 27.7 mm and 1.73 mm, respectively, and the diameter and height of the fruiting bodies cluster were 132 mm and 87.2 mm, respectively. The pileus was thinner but the fruiting bodies cluster was larger than that of ‘Cham’. Fruiting bodies weighed 139 g per 1,100 ml bottle of ‘Daebak’, which was 28% higher than that for ‘Cham’, with a CV of 2.5%, which was 6.2% lower than that of ‘Cham’. The yield per 10,000 bottles (used for cultivation) of ‘Daebak’ was 1,376 kg, 70% higher than that of ‘Cham’, with a CV of 3.0% that was 11.5% lower than that of ‘Cham’. With respect to physical characteristics, the strength and brittleness of the fruiting body of ‘Daebak’ was less than that of ‘Cham’. When considering the period available for sale, the shelf life of ‘Daebak’ was 42 days, which was 6 days longer than that of ‘Cham’.
