The invention discloses a method for cultivating 
phellinus igniarius. The method includes the steps that firstly, short-
cut wood is directly placed in a material bag or placed in the material bag after being bundled, the two end faces of the short-
cut wood or the two ends of a short-
cut wood bundle are paved with cultivation media, an opening of the bag is tightened, and then a material 
package is acquired; secondly, the material 
package is sterilized, cooled and then inoculated, and then 
phellinus igniarius is acquired through cultivation, wherein the cultivation media are radix puerariae residues. The radix puerariae residues are used as the cultivation media, so that growth and 
reproduction of 
phellinus igniarius mycelia can be stimulated, the mycelia are stronger, 
germination and field planting of the 
phellinus igniarius mycelia are accelerated, and eventually the spawn 
running time can be shortened by about 15 d; in addition, invasion and infection of contaminating microorganisms can be reduced, and statistics show that the 
contamination rate of the material 
package can be reduced by 11.7% to 17.9% and the yield of 
phellinus igniarius can be increased by more than 15%.
