This thesis will take advantage of orthogonal array as a mathematical tool to work the experiments, which are carried on by short-time LED lighting sources. This artificial light source will stimulate Antrodia Cinnamomea, shorting the growing time of raising those mycelia. This thesis will focus on the blue lights, the red lights and the on/off periods of these artificial lights. According to the results after the experiments, it virtually improved that some special light source made an obvious effect on Antrodia Cinnamomea. The red light is operated at 1 Lux, and the blue one is at 20 Lux; furthermore, the lights are turned on for 15 minutes every 3 hours. This is the best condition for Antrodia Cinnamomea to live. Its weight increases 27%, the spetrum area of High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) increases 43%, and the growing time decreases 25%. Moreover, the fungus can obtain a special substance named triterpenoids.
