Features: The cultivation and application of medicinal fungi have evolved from the original wild collection, natural spore propagation, mycelial mass inoculation, and semi-wild cultivation using wild spores, to the cultivation of artificial pure strains and industrial deep fermentation production, resulting in a growth in yield by several to even dozens of times. Deep fermentation belongs to biotechnology, which has a short production cycle, can be artificially controlled and optimized for culture conditions, and can obtain large quantities of fungi in a relatively short time. It is the direction for the development of medicinal fungal production. However, due to high investment, complex processes, and high technical requirements, it is currently not widely applicable. Therefore, this book introduces the cultivation methods of some commonly used and currently developing large medicinal fungi using artificial pure strains and wild spores, mycelial masses, etc., for reference by medicinal fungal enthusiasts, professionals, and scientific producers in practice.
