“…Growth is relatively slow on SDA which might be due to nutritious requirement of the P. petalodes mycelium fulfilled quickly by the other media as compared to the SDA medium. Niazi & Ghafoor [ 31 ] also revealed the CEA medium as the supportive medium for the culture growth of Pleurotus floridanus . Our results were similar with Shim et al [ 32 ] in which they found PDA medium as the suitable medium for the cultural characteristics of Cystoderma amianthinum.…”

“…( 2020). Niazi and Ghafoor (2022) have optimized the growth conditions of P.floridanus , an indigenous edible and therapeutically significant mushroom from Pakistan and its molecular phylogenetics have been reported. Guo et al (2022) have focused on nutritional qualities and antioxidant activity of P. floridanus grown on composted peach sawdust substrate with different composting time.…”

Four oyster mushroom species are cultivated in North Bengal for its good taste, texture and therapeutic values. Morphological and anatomical characteristics of four Pleurotus species (P. djamor, P. sajorcaju, P. ostreatus and P floridanus) have been elucidated. Malt extract agar showed highest mycelial growth rate followed by the potato dextrose agar, while water agar was lowest. All four Pleurotus species were identified using 18S rDNA sequencing as P. djamor (KT768094), P. sajor-caju (KT818506), P. ostreatus (KT768095) and P floridanus (KT826605) and subsequently all the sequence have been deposited in the NCBI Genbank. 18S r DNA sequence alignments of P. djamor, P. sajor-caju, P. ostreatus and P floridanus with other ex-type isolates have been presented and the conserved regions of the gene have been demonstrated in different colours. Phylogenetic placement of all four Pleurotus species with other 41 ex-type strains obtained from NCBI GenBank was compared using UPGMA method in MEGA11 software and result has been presented. Antioxidant activity such as DPPH scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power activity as well as flavonoid activity of four Pleurotus species were also evaluated. P. djamor and P. ostreatus showed higher DPPH scavenging activity in comparison to other two species. Highest amount of reducing power activity was observed in P. djamor and lowest in P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju. P. djamor and P. floridanus also showed higher flavonoid content in comparison to other two species.

“…Culturability of P. pistillaris was assessed according to the method described by Niazi and Ghafoor (2022). Small tissues from different parts of fruiting body were taken and surface sterilized with the help of 5 % (w/v) sodium hypochlorite solution (manufactured by Ittehad Chemicals Limited) and autoclaved distilled water.…”

Podaxis pistillaris is neutraceutically, cosmoceutically and medicinally recognized macrofungus.During this research work, this edible mushroom was systematically characterized. Its culturability, laccase production, and dye decolorization potential were evaluated and optimized.Among the different media tested, PDA proved as most efficient medium for culturability of P. pistillaris. Conditions for laccase production were optimized in submerged state fermentation.Maximum laccase secretion was noted after 14 th day of Incubation at 35 o C with 130 rpm and 5 pH of medium. Fructose and ammonium-phosphate was found as best carbon and nitrogen source, while wheat straw revealed as good ligno-cellulosic source for strengthening laccase production.Congo-red dye decolorization capability by crude laccase enzyme was evaluated and found maximum decolorization potential (92.2%) after 288h of incubation. From this pilot study, it was confirmed that this edible macrofungus has culturability, laccase production and dye decolorization attributes that will further contribute in delignification, biosorption and bioremediation.
