Abstract Cultural characteristics of 45 strains ofLyophyllum shimeji and 10 strains of three related species were determined. The average optimum temperature for mycelial growth ofL. shimeji on a medium consisting of rye grains was 24.9°C, slightly higher than those forL. fumosum andL. decastes. The average mycelial growth rate of theL. shimeji strains, each at its optimum temperature, was 2.0 mm/day, almost the same as that ofL. decastes and 2 times greater than those ofL. semitale andL. fumosum. All strains ofL. shimeji could grow on beech and pine sawdust, but none could significantly decompose beech wood blocks. Of the 45 strains ofL. shimeji, 3 strains had ability to form primordia on the rye grain medium without the host plant.
