Abstract:

Since ancient times, mushrooms have been considered as a special kind of food. Blue oyster mushroom is a novel species with very large fruit body, blue coloured pinheads becoming light white on maturity, high yielder, palatable with meaty flavour and attractive keeping quality. Different types of cereal grains i.e. maize, sorghum, bajra, wheat and paddy were taken to see their effect on spawn development and Different substrates i.e. wheat straw, paddy straw, mustard straw, sesamum straw and pigeon pea straw significantly influenced the spawn run period, pinhead initiation and yield of   H. ulmarius. Sorghum grains were found to be most suitable for spawn development of H. ulmarius, it took significantly less time (10.4 days). However, spawn development was delayed in maize (13.4 days) and wheat grains (14.6 days). The sorghum grains were fully covered by white mycelial growth and all grains were tightly intact with each other where other grains were observed mycelia growth  on all grains but they were easily disturb. Spawn run was significantly earlier found in pigeon pea straw (18.50 days). However it was significantly late noticed in paddy (21.0 days). Minimum period required for primordial initiation was significantly less in pigeon pea (2.75 days) followed by mustard (3.75days). The biological efficiency of H. ulmarius in wheat straw (98.12 %) Whereas, it was minimum with pigeon pea, mustard and sesamum straw (64.7, 66.52, 70.62% respectively).


Keywords: Mushroom, Hypsizygus ulmarius, Mycelial growth, Spawn run period, Pinhead initiation and yield and biological efficiency
