“…The results of our current experiment are substantiated by the results of earlier reports recommending optimum temperature for mycelium growth inside the spawn development room (Chandra and Perkaysth, 1977). Furthermore, similar results were also reported by other workers which added support to our observations (Chang and Miles, 2004).…”

“…Phallolysin isolated from A. phalloides was found to be a haemolytic toxin (Erguven et al, 2007, Seeger, 1975), while A. phalloides was reported life threatening poison because of causing acute multiorgan failure (Hydzik et al, 2008). In an earlier study conducted in Swat (Pakistan), amatoxin was established to be the main toxic compound of mushrooms from Swat region (Pakistan) which was responsible for gastrointestinal symptoms as well as hepatic and renal failure (Chandra and Perkaysth, 1977). …”

Mushrooms are a rich source of protein and vitamins as human food. In view of the growing importance of mushroom in Pakistan, a research study was initiated with the objective to examine the suitability of Oyster mushroom cultivation and to compare the growth and yield of Oyster mushroom in two different areas (Peshawar and Swat, North-West region of Pakistan) with different ecological conditions. Spawn running time, number of crops, stalk height, stalk diameter, cap size, fresh weight, number of production days, and the interval in days between the time of bag opening and the time of starting fruiting bodies formation were among the important parameters investigated in the current study. Stalk height, stalk diameter, cap size and fresh weight of mushrooms were found higher in Peshawar region as compared to those growing in Swat region. On the other side, the spawn running time, formation of fruiting bodies and the number of productions were higher in Swat region as compared to the mushroom under study in Peshawar region. Mild winter temperatures of Peshawar region, and low summer temperatures in Swat, were found most suitable for growth and yield of Pleurotus ostreatus.

“…This result also implies that different G. lucidum strains prefer different pH values tending toward neutrality. Likewise, Chandra and Purkayastha (1977) and Jonathan et al (2004) obtained very good mycelial growth of Agaricus campestris and Volvariella esculenta at pH 6. Fasola et al (2007) also reported that V. speciosa grew over a wide range of pH but optimum growth was obtained at pH 6.…”

“…But in case of IUM 751, 757 and 1027, optimum mycelial growth was obtained at galactose, while IUM 938, optimum mycelial growth was found on fructose. However, Chandra and Purkayastha (1977) reported that most of the tropical edible macrofungi were in favor of utilizing glucose than other carbon sources. The preference of glucose over other carbon compounds may be due to the fast metabolization of glucose by the fungi to produce cellular energy easily (Garraway and Evans, 1984).…”

Favorable Culture Conditions for Mycelial Growth of Korean Wild Strains inGanoderma lucidum

et al. 2008

Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karst (Polyporaceae), belonging to basidiomycota, is one of the most famous medicinal mushrooms. This study was carried out to investigate favorable mycelial growth conditions, such as pH, temperature, growth media, carbon sources and nitrogen sources of Korean strains in G. lucidum. The most suitable temperature for the mycelial growth was obtained at 30℃. In general, optimal temperature range for the mycelial growth was found at 25~30℃. This Mushroom has a broad pH range (5~9) for its mycelial growth and mostly favorable growth was found at pH 5. Generally, Hamada, Glucose peptone, YM, Mushroom complete and Lilly media were the most suitable for the mycelial growth of G. lucidum. Among 10 different carbon sources, dextrin, galactose and fructose were best but the rest of other carbon sources also facilitated the growth of mycelia. The most suitable nitrogen sources were ammonium acetate, glycine, arginine and calcium nitrate, but to a certain extent, all of the supplemented nitrogen sources also stimulated the mycelial growth.

“…Basal medium supplemented with pyridoxine and thiamine gave the best growth of Pleurotus florida compared to the rest vitamin source (Adenipekun and Gbolagade 2006). Chandra and Purkayastha (1977) reported that asparagine and aspartic acid have been employed in increasing the mycelial growth and fruit body production in Agaricus bisporus.…”

This work was carried out in Private Farm at Kaffer Saker, Sharkia Governorate, during the period between 2009 and 2010 seasons to study the effect of application with amino acids and vitamin B complex to the rice straw substrate on the growth, yield and its components, physical characters and chemical constituents of oyster mushroom fruit bodies.The obtained results showed that, mushroom cultivated on rice straw +vit. B complex at 200 ppm + amino acids at 200 ppm gave the highest values of cap diameter, stipe diameter, stipe length and cap weight followed by rice straw + vitamin B complex 200 ppm. While, mushroom cultivated on rice straw + vitamin B complex at 200ppm gave the highest values of early yield/ bag, total yield/ bag, early yield / total yield % and biological efficiency% .On the other hand, cultivation of mushroom on rice straw + vit. B complex at 400 ppm + amino acids at 400 ppm gave the highest values of nitrogen , phosphorus, potassium, dry matter and crude protein as well as total carbohydrates followed by rice straw + vit. B complex at 200 ppm + amino acids at 200 ppm.On the contrary, cultivation oyster mushroom on rice straw only (control) produced the lowest values of all studied characters.
