This study was carried out to elucidate postharvest storage characteristics of fruiting body of Neolentinus lepideus according to different relative humidities during growing period of it and had relative humidity treatments of 65%, 75%, 85% and 95% and 50 days in storage. When considered as marketable freshness, shelflife was longest as 30days at the relative humidity of 85% and 95%, which was 5 days longer than at the relative humidity of 65% and 75%. Rate of fresh weight loss during storage was lowest as 2.81 % after 50 days in storage at the relative humidity of 95% and was highest as 3.62% at the relative humidity of 65%. In hunter color value of pileus during storage, L value was highest at the relative humidity of 95%. B value was lowest at the relative humidity of 95% and was highest at the relative humidity of 65%. In physical characteristics of stipe during storage, hardness, springiness and brittleness was lowest at the relative humidity of 95% and was highest at the relative humidity of 65%. In conclusion, the relative humidity of 95% during growing period of Neolentinus lepideus was most optimal for quality maintenance during postharvest storage of its fruiting body.
