Abstract
Rice bran is used for various applications in Japan, but it is costly to collect and cannot be stored. Although we considered use of defatted rice bran as a substitute for rice bran in P. eryngii cultivation, it reduced the yield. Cultivation using wheat meal and defatted rice bran indicated comparable or greater performance relative to the standard plot in comparison of yield and size of parts of fruiting bodies. Thus, it is effective to combine wheat meal and defatted rice bran in P. eryngii cultivation.
