The characteristics of a new strain `Saegonji` are as follows. The optimum temperature for mycelium growth was from 23 to on PDA medium and those for the primodium formation and the growth of fruit body were about . The period from spawn innoculation to harvesting required around 51 days at . The number of fruit body per bottle was 12.8 and it was 9.3 less than `Keunneutari No.2`. The length was 135.8 mm.
