Assessment of Palm Press Fibre and Sawdust-Based Substrate Formulas for Efficient Carpophore Production of Lentinus squarrosulus (Mont.) Singer

Abstract: Development of efficient substrate formulas to improve yield and shorten production time is one of the prerequisites for commercial cultivation of edible mushrooms. In this study, fifteen substrate formulas consisting of varying ratios of palm press fibre (PPF), mahogany sawdust (MS), Gmelina sawdust, wheat bran (WB), and fixed proportions of 1% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and 1% sucrose were assessed for efficient Lentinus squarrosulus production. Proximate compositions of mushrooms produced on the different su… Show more

“…The mushroom produced by C. milleni had the highest value followed by T. scleroxylon while A. leiocarpa had the least. This corroborates the report Chiejina and Osibe, (2015) Nwoko, et. al., (2018) and Olasupo et.…”

“…[8]. Saw-dust was adjusted to approximately 70% moisture content following the wet basis method [28,29], and 10 mL of the LMM was added to 100 g of saw-dust in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. This was sterilized by autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes.…”
