Abstract:
A cultured fungus product of Antrodia camphorata prepared by a process comprising:(a) culturing spawn of a wild-type fungus of Antrodia camphorata in a bag containing a medium comprising 10-70% of a cellulolytic substance, 10-30% of a starch, 5-15% of millet, 1-10% of a saccharide, 0.5-2% of a phosphate and 0.1-1% of a sulfite salt at a relative humidity of 60-80%, the medium having a neutral pH, the culturing being carried out at a temperature of 5-32Â° C. in an atmosphere comprising 0.1-1% carbon dioxide; (b) removing the medium from the bag; (c) exposing the removed medium to air and maintaining the removed medium in the air for a period of days until a solid fruiting body is formed of conoid shape, said removed medium being maintained in the air at a temperature which differs between days and nights with the removed medium being maintained during the days at a temperature between 20Â° and 30Â° C. and during the nights at a temperature of 10-12Â° C., wherein the humidity of the air is between 90-95% and the air contains less than 1% of carbon dioxide; and (d) recovering the solid fruiting body of conoid shape.
