A new variety of Pleurotus eryngii which is named ‘Gonji No. 8’ was bred by mating monokaryotic strain isolated from E085D2 and a monokaryotic strain ‘aerini No.3’ obtained from the Mushroom Research Institute, Gyeonggi-Do A.R.E.S. The characteristics of the new variety `Gonji No.8` is as follows. The optimum temperature for mycelium growth was from 23 oC to 26 oC on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. For the primodia formation and the growth of fruit bodies, the optimum temperature was from 14 oC to 16 oC. The period of spawn running was around 30 days at 22 oC and the days taken after the removal of the spawn layer to initiate primodia was seven days. The hardness value of fruit body was 8,4322,193 g/cm2, which was two times more than that of ‘Keunneutari No.2’. The yield of ‘Gonji No.8’ was about 133 g per bottle(900cc) and it was same as ‘Keunneutari No.2’.
