Abstract
The market requirement of Cordyceps militaris,a valuable edible and medicinal fungus,is increasingly growing.A mathematic model is established by adopting orthogonal polynomial regression method to study the effects of temperature on hypha growth rate,development,and stroma differentiation,growth,and yield of Cordyceps militaris .The results show that the optimal temperature for the hypha growth,hypa color turned,and stroma differentiation is 22.7 ℃,20.2 ℃ and 18.1 ℃,respectively,and the appropriate temperature for the hypha and stroma growth under artificial culture is 15-18 ℃ and 14-17 ℃,respectively.The research provides scientific basis for the production of cordyceps militars on a large scale.
