OBJECTIVE：Rare-earth compound was added to the medium of Ganoderma lucidum to study the effect of rare-earth elements on the hypha growth,the fresh and dry weight of fruit body of G.lucidum.METHODS:The culture medium dressed with rare-earth elements.RESULTS:It showed that all concentrations of rare-earth elements had some inhibition on the hypha growth of G.lucidum.However they could make the hypha of G.lucidumwhiter.The fresh and dry weight of fruit body increased significantly when the concentrations of rare-earth elements were 100μg.g-1 and 150μg.g-1.Their raising rates were +4.13%，+0.20% and +16.47，+5.84%respectively.CONCLUSION:The yield of G.lucidum can be increased by rare-earth elements when its concentrations were 100～150μg.g-1.
