Pleurotus sapidus. Phellinus igriarius and 2 kinds of plants-Populus sp and Brassica chinensis. Of the four kinds of Est staining recipes tested.the recipe α-acetic acid-naphther showed the best effect.and followed by β-aceticacid-naphther, semicontent α-aceticacid-naphther and α+β-aceticacidnathpher.展开更多
