Title:
METHOD FOR PROPAGATING FUNGI USING SOLID STATE FERMENTATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002020727
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a solid state fermentation (SSF) method which is effective for both small- and large-scale fungal cultivation. The present invention also provides SSF media for fungal cultivation. Although the SSF method provided in the present invention can be used in growing most fungi, the best list of fungi includes Cordyceps sinensis, Ganoderma lucidum, Antrodia camphorata, Trametes versicolor, and Agaricus blazei. The demonstrated SSF method not only produces high yield of fungi, but also stimulates the production of fungal metabolites, particularly the kinds with pharmaceutical and medicinal activities.
