摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide Pleurotus eryngii different in a shape from a conventional Pleurotus eryngii, which quality is less likely to deteriorate after packaged and has long life; and to provide a method for artificially cultivating the same.SOLUTION: The Pleurotus eryngii includes an umbrella and a stalk. The umbrella has a rounded upward projection shape comprising a part of a sphere, a prolate spheroid or an oblate spheroid, or a flat shape, and has cracks on the surface of the umbrella. To form the cracks, light of 500 lx or more is emitted toward a fruit body during growth and the temperature is set to be 5-18°C and the humidity is set to be 85% during the latter period of the growth.
