The gene transformation plays a key role in the modern biotechnology. Heterologous genes can be expressed in various organisms ranged from microorganisms, plants and animals. Molecular pharming, using transgenic plants, animals or higher microorganisms to produce recombinant proteins with pharmaceutical or commercial potential, will have a great impact on the agricultural biotechnology in the future. Molecular pharming could be used to produce bioplastics, industrial enzymes, vaccines, antibodies, and other pharmaceuticals. The major advantage of molecular pharming is the ability to produce recombinant proteins at large scale with economical expense. The cost is cut down tremendously in comparison with the traditional process.﹒﹒﹒﹒﹒

1 Introduction
First of all, it may be interesting to have a charming mushroom poem as a beginning to this article: “WITHOUT LEAVES, WITHOUT BUDS, WITHOUT FLOWERS, YET, .﹒
The above pyramid model of the mushroom industry conforms fully to an old Chinese saying, “Medicines and food have a common origin”. This statement is particularly applicable .﹒﹒﹒﹒﹒
