The purpose is to obtain optimal cultural conditions for Ganoderma lucidum in the solid medium mainly containing the residual of Pteridium aquilinum,and to provide theoretical foundation for the further use of this material from Pteridium aquilinum.Response surface methodology was applied to optimize the main culture conditions including proportion of the residual compound in medium,water content in medium and culture temperature.The results showed that proportion of residual of Pteridium aquilinum in medium,water content in medium and cultural condition had noticeably significant effects on daily average growth rate of mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum(p
