PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a woody material for cultivating mushrooms, obtained by integrating small-diameter short trees of a plurality of trees, and a method for cultivating mushroom using the woody material.SOLUTION: (1) The woody material for cultivating mushrooms includes sawdust 2 densely filled in a clearance (a gap) formed when bundling and integrating the woody material 1. (2) The woody material for cultivating mushrooms, described in (1) includes the sawdust 2 such that the volume ratio of the sawdust 2 to the volume of the woody material 1 is 0.1 or less. (3) The woody material for cultivating mushrooms, described in (1) or (2) is formed such that the diameter of the woody material 1 is less than 5 cm. (4) In the woody material for cultivating mushrooms, described in (1)-(3), the mushrooms are Lentinus edodes, Mycoleptodonoides aitchisonii, Hericium erinaceum, Pheurotus citrinopileatus, Naematoloma sublateritium, Pleurotus ostreatus or Ganoderma lucidum. (5) The woody material for cultivating mushrooms, described in (1)-(4) uses the woody material 1 and sawdust 2 derived from the same variety. (6) In the method for producing mushrooms, the frequency of inoculating the woody material 1 for cultivating mushrooms, described in (1)-(5), with mushroom spawn is once or more.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】複数本の樹木の小径短木を一体化したキノコ栽培用原木、及びこれを使用するキノコの栽培方法の提供。【解決手段】(1)原木1を束ねて一体化した際に生ずる隙間(空隙)に、おが粉2が密に充填されているキノコ栽培用原木。(2)原木1の体積に対しておが粉2の占める体積の割合が0.1以下である(1)に記載するキノコ栽培用原木。(3)原木1の直径が5cm未満である(1)又は(2)に記載するキノコ栽培用原木。(4)キノコが、シイタケ、ブナハリタケ、山伏茸、タモギタケ、クリタケ、ヒラタケ、又はマンネン茸である(1)~(3)に記載するキノコ栽培用原木。(5)同一品種由来の原木1とおが粉2を使用する(1)~(4)に記載するキノコ栽培用原木。(6)(1)~(5)に記載するキノコ栽培用原木1にキノコの種菌を接種する回数が1回、又は2回以上であるキノコの栽培方法。【選択図】図1
