Outline of Final Research Achievements	We established an artificial cultivation technique in a mycorrhizal mushroom, Cantharellus anzutake. In the process of searching for mycorrhizal mushroom resources, we discovered several new species and established many cultures. In addition, we established a new cultivation technique for cultivated mushrooms and created a method for high-level ethanol production using a basidiomycete mushroom. Furthermore, we discovered a new compound derived from mushrooms and began to investigate its potential as a drug substance. We have analyzed the needs and sales methods for consumption of wild mushrooms, and secured a place for continuous discussions on future marketing strategies. Based on the above results, we started to study the creation of new business formats and started some joint research with private companies. We also started to set up a new research collaboration with local governments.
