This study was conducted to identify a suitable color of light for developemtn of the fruit body in Hyypsizygus marmoreus. To accomplish thiss, samples were irradiated with blue, green, yellow, or red light emitting diodes to induce the formation of fruiting bodies after mycelia growth. The diameter and thickness of the pileus and length of stipes in induce the formation of fruiting bodies after mycelia growth. The diameter and thickness of the pileus and length of stipes in samples subjected to blue LED treatment were similar were similar to those of subjected to fluorescent light yeilds of plants subjected to blue and green LED treatment were silmilar to those of the control. In conclusion, cultivation of H. marmoreus coupled with exposure to blue LED is useful for inducing high quality fruit bodies as well as higher levels of ergosterol, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total polyphenol content and reducing power.
