PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for artificially cultivating Ganoderma lucidum using logs (waste logs) of peach tree as a mushroom bed: and to provide a method for utilizing the obtained Ganoderma lucidum.SOLUTION: The method for artificially cultivating Ganoderma lucidum includes using cut logs of peach tree as a mushroom bed to obtain Ganoderma lucidum carpophores through the following steps (1)-(4): (1) a step for heating the cut logs at 100°C or less together with sufficient water (2) a step for putting the cut logs subjected to heat treatment into a heat-resistant bag and sterilizing the logs with heat under the condition enough to wipe out heat-resistant spore bacillus (3) a step for inoculating Ganoderma lucidum spawns to the sterilized logs and (4) culturing the spawn-inoculated logs at 20-25°C for 120-150 days in the darkness. The method for utilizing the obtained Ganoderma lucidum includes soaking the Ganoderma lucidum carpophores in a bathtub as bath preparation.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】桃の木を原木(廃木)を菌床とするマンネンタケの人工栽培方法及び得られるマンネンタケの利用方法の提供。【解決手段】菌床として桃の切断原木を用い、下記(1)~(4)の栽培工程にてマンネンタケ子実体を得これを浴剤として浴槽に漬けるマンネンタケの人工栽培方法及び利用方法。(1)切断原木を、十分な水と共に100℃以上で加熱処理する工程、(2)加熱処理済み切断原木を耐熱性の袋に封入して、耐熱性芽胞菌を死滅させるのに十分な条件で加熱殺菌処理する工程、(3)殺菌済原木に、マンネンタケの種菌を接種する工程、(4)種菌を接種した原木を、暗黒下、20~25℃で120~150日間培養する工程。【選択図】図1
