The effects of improved aeration in saw dust bag cultivation on the Lentinula edodes hyphal growth were measured by CO2 concentration within the bags, the hyphal growth and bag weight loss. The aeration of the bags was controlled with 10 kinds of pore sizes of the lid and with pores on one side only or both side on the lid. In the conventional bags with a cotton plug CO2 concentration was 3.83%, the hyphal growth 2.25 ㎜/day and bag weight loss 0.84g, while in the bags with a lid 20.4㎜ diameter pore the CO2 concentration was 4.00%, the hyphal growth 2.68㎜/day and bag weight loss 1.3g. The bag with a lid pored on both top and bottom side was lower in CO2 concentration by 0.50%, higher hyphal growth rate by 0.04 ㎜/day and lower weight loss by 0.26g than the bag with a lid pored bottom side only. We concluded that the most effective lid for bag cultivation of L. edodes was the one with 20.4㎜ pores on both side of the lid.
