In order to increase the mycelial production of Phellinus linteus , which exhibits potent anticancer activity, some ingredients
of the medium used to culture P. linteus were investigated. The optimal medium composition for the production of Phellinus
linteus was determined to be as follows: fructose, 40 g/ ; yeast extract, 20 g/ ; K HPO , 0.46 g/ ; KH PO , 1.00 g/ ; MgSO ·7H O,

Under optimal composition and conditions, the maximum mycelial biomass achieved in a 5 jar fermentor was 29.9 g/ .
