To increase production of Tricholoma matsutake, experiments were carried out in a mountain located in Keumma 2-ri, Joocheon-myun, Yongwol-gun, Kangwon-do, Korea during the period from April to November 1979. The area of the experiment showed pH 6.55 of soil acidity and the rock was found to be granite. Among its vegetation, the major growths were Pinus densiflora Siebold et Zuccarini, Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz., Rhododendron schlippenhachii Max., Lespedeza bicolor and Pteridium aquilinum (Linne) Kuhn var. japonicum Nakai. Of two equally divided areas of A and B in which pine mushrooms grew, artificial methods such as thinning the upper portion of land raking and water-spraying were applied to area B only, where 21% increase of the production was obtained as compared with the control area A.
