PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To find a method for increasing production amount of Sparassis crispa by increasing germination amount of Sparassis crispa and shortening production period and to produce Sparassis crispa, in which contamination by fungus is prevented, giving crispy feeling when eating it and having highβ-glucan contents. SOLUTION: The method for producing Sparassis crispa includes a fungus-pressing step of burying air holes for promoting culturing rate by pressing the surface of fungal bed in a bottle mouth of a culturing bottle of mushroom in order to increase germination amount and further, a step of generating many rudiments by scattering a second mycelium which is different kind from Sparassis crispa mushroom. In the production method, a cap of the culturing bottle is removed when sprouting is carried out and an air-permeable and light-transmitting polymer material or polyethylene bag or cover case is covered from above the culturing bottle or container so as to enable rearing of fruit body of Sparassis crispa. Banana is crushed with a mixer and mixed with a culture medium and the banana and honey in many contents are added to the culture medium and these components are stirred and Sparassis crispa is cultured in the culture medium to provide Sparassis crispa having highβ-glucan content.
