In order to obtain a high yield of Lentinus edodes mycelium efficiently used as a liquid spawn for Shiitake mushroom production, a continuous culture system was investigated. The productivity of the mycelium (mg of dry weight of mycelium ml −1h −1) was 14-fold higher at a dilution rate of 0.03 h −1...
