In order to select the earthing shiitake varieties suitable for planting in Beijing area , adopt the method of varieties comparison, the mushroom strain L26, Wuxiang No.1 and the local mushroom varieties 18 ( CK) were compared from the aspects of fungus speed, fruiting body color, size and production.The results showed that the strain L26 and Wuxiang No.1 could be used as earthing shiitake varieties suitable for planting in Beijing area.Among them , strain L26 as the earthing shiitake planted in high temperature season also had high production and quality, but the resistance of hypha to high temperature was weaker, mushroom shed should be cooling and ventilated in management later.Wuxiang No.1 had slightly worse mushroom mass, but turned tide fast, out mushroom concentrated, little difference in yield with L18, due to the slower color change speed and the later out mushroom time, the rod making time should be appropriate advanced.
