Strains of Phlebopus spongiosus – collected from Pomelo orchards, Ben Tre Province, Vietnam – were cultured on different media, temperatures, pH and carbon/nitrogen sources to define mycelial growth conditions for spawn mushroom production. Phlebopus spongiosus BC-F0075 grew the fastest on the modified MS medium. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was 30°C and the optimum pH was 4 – 5. BC-F0075 grew well on the MS media containing saccharose, glucose, fructose and maltose, but did not with lactose. Additionally, NH4H2PO4 was reported to be the best nitrogen source to the growth of BC-F0075 mycelia, whereas urea ((NH2)2CO) was not utilized as a nitrogen source.

In recent years, interest was Phlebopus spongiosus Pham & Har. shown in many EEMMs for cultivation, such Takah is a new tropical bolete in family as Tuber magnatum, Tricholoma matsutake, Boletinellaceae that was recently discovered Boletus edulis (Giomaro et al. 2005) and by Pham et al. (2012a). This mushroom was Phlebopus portentosus (Thongklang et al. described to be an ectomycorrhizal species 2010, Sanmee et al. 2010). P. spongiosus has with pomelo roots (Pham et al. 2012b). Most a close relationship with P. portentosus in the fruit bodies have been found in pomelo genus Phlebopus. P. portentosus is also one of orchards, thereby P. spongious is also named the most popular edible ectomycorrhizal as “nấm bưởi” in Vietnamese. P. spongiosus mushrooms in northern Thailand and China, is an endemic edible ectomycorrhizal because it has a large fruiting body and prized mushroom (EEMM) in Southern Vietnam. flavor. P. portentosus has been successfully EEMMs are considered delicacies, beneficial cultivated without a host plant (Ji et al. 2011, nutraceutical and medicinal value, therefore, Kumla et al. 2014), and thus has the potential they are sold at a relatively high price to produce fruiting bodies of EEMM in the compared to other foods.
