From the paper

Abstract

The present invention relates to a production method of Hericium erinaceus mycelium using rice bran or ginseng steamed red as a substrate and Hericium erinaceus mycelium containing active ingredients of rice bran or ginseng steamed red prepared by the same, aiming at the increase of production of mycelium by using rice bran or red ginseng extract based on liquid culture. More precisely, the invention relates to a production method of Hericium erinaceus mycelium comprising the steps of first cultivation of Hericium erinaceus and second cultivation of the primary culture solution with the addition of rice bran or red ginseng extract and Hericium erinaceus mycelium prepared by the method.According to the method of the present invention, the problems of the conventional solid culture method such as high costs, low productivity, ir not regularity of the product quality and deterioration of the product quality during shipping/ handling can be overcome and thus high quality Hericium erinaceus mycelium can be mass- produced with low costs. And the produced mycelium can be effectively used for the treatment of senile disease, cancer and immune disorder and for the activation of brain functions owing to the rice bran or red ginseng extract used as a substrate.
