“…Different types of cereal grains and agricultural wastes were tested as spawn substrates for increasing quantities of mycelium including: mung bean, red bean, rice bran, rice husk, soy bean and sorghum, as described by Nwanze et al (2005). All grains were cleaned and soaked in distilled water for 24 hours, recleaned to remove broken grains and debris, then boiled for 15-20 minutes.…”

Lepista sordida is an edible and medicinal mushroom, but until now it had to be collected from the wild. The present study is the first report of the successful cultivation of a wild strain of L. sordida from Thailand. The morphological description and molecular examination of the fungus are included, in order to confirm the identification of the species. Optimization was carried out for mycelium growth and fruiting body production. The optimal conditions for growing the mycelia on solid medium were yeast malt extract agar (YMA), pH 6.3 and a temperature of 25 °C. A sorghum mushroom spawn was used for upscaling of the mycelium to be used for fruiting body production. Optimal conditions for the fruiting phase were 25 °C with 95-97% humidity in a compost rice straw medium with sandy-soil casing layer. Additionally, the secondary metabolites of fruiting body and cultured mycelium were investigated. Nudic acid B, a known toxic polyacetylene, was isolated from submerged cultures of L. sordida, while no polyacetylenic compounds were found in the fruiting bodies.

“…This also influences the yield and efficiency of the production of mushroom mycelium. Environmental factors such as temperature, oxygen, carbon(iv)oxide, humidity, light, moisture and pH have been reported to also affect mycelia growth in the spawn preparation (Nwanze et al, 2005). Also, the most common bacterial problem in Pleurotus cultivation is infection by Pseudomonas tolaasi (Royce, 2003).…”

The objectives of this study are to select the best substrate that supports the growth of mushroom and the best substrate that produces mushroom with highest protein and biological efficiency. Pure culture of Pleurotus florida were collected and cultured using white sorghum grains to produce the grain spawns which were then inoculated on pasteurized substrates in axenic condition where mushroom emerged. Four substrates were composted in the investigation of the effect of substrates variability on the growth and protein content of oyster mushroom. Data relating to the time taken for spawn ramification, pinhead formation, days to maturity of the fruiting bodies as well as the protein content of the mushroom were collected. All the substrates were colonised at the same rate but pin head formation was first noticed on sugarcane bagasse substrate followed by maize straw substrate but with the fastest maturity of the fruiting bodies. Mushroom from sugarcane bagasse substrate had the highest yield while the lowest yield was observed on banana leaves followed oil palm spadix substrates. Mushroom from maize straw had the highest protein content (48.79%) while the lowest was from oil palm spadix substrate (23.41%).

“…Spawn grains such as wheat, millet and corn have been reported to affect carpophores production (Nwanze et al, 2005b) and there are various additives that are known to stimulate fruiting. They include rice bran, cassava peels and soybean powder, Nwanze et al (2005a) examined the effect of spawn grains such as weat, millet and corn on the culture of lentinus squarrosulus.…”

Spawn quality is the most important factor in the production of edible mushroom (which is fast gaining prominence in Nigeria and Africa at large). In order to determine the effects of substrates spawn preparation on mycelial growth of oyster mushroom species, the experiment was conducted in a factorial experiment design at randomized completely with three replications. In this experiment, first and second factors respectively were substrates (Wheat, yellow maize, Guinea Corn, Millet, Red Sorghum and White Maize (Bende local)) and oyster mushroom species (Pleurotus tuber-regium and pelurotus pulmonarius). The results clearly demonstrated that between various substrates used, maximum and minimum growth rate were recorded for white maize (Bende Local) and least mycelial extension and fresh weight on wheat.The second best grain for both species used was Red Sorghum.
