Abstract: The color transformation of fungal logs is a critical stage in the cultivation of Lentinula edodes, which directly affects the maturity of fungal logs, as well as the yield and quality of fruiting bodies. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of mycelial carbon and nitrogen metabolism, key enzyme activities, and mycelial morphological changes during the color transformation period were reviewed. And the impacts of the carbon-nitrogen ratio, nutritional conditions, environmental factors, strain characteristics, and cultivation practices on the color transformation were further elucidated. Additionally, the research in multi-omics color transition regulatory networks, precise intelligent regulation, and the breeding of high-quality strains was anticipated, thereby providing a reference for the research on standardized color transition techniques for Lentinula edodes and the upgrading of the industry.

Key words: Lentinula edodes, color transformation, physiological and biochemical characteristics, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, environmental regulation
