Abstract:

Present study was carried out to standardize culture media and temperature conditions for optimal growth of Schizophyllum commune (split-gill mushroom) strains. Radial growth of six strains was evaluated on PDA, MEA and other substrate extracts media at 20±1ºC, 25±1ºC and 30±1ºC temperatures at 7 and14 days after inoculation. Strain SC-06p exhibited maximum radial growth of 34.66 mm on PDA media and 32.00 mm on MEA media at 7 days post-inoculation and at 14 days after inoculation. SC-06p strain showed maximum radial growth of 58.33 mm on PDA media followed on MEA media of 51.11 mm radial growth. Optimal temperature for SC-06p was observed at 30±1ºC yielding 34.66 mm and 31.00 mm by strain SC-06p at 25±1ºC at 7 days after inoculation. Strain SC-06p gave maximum radial growth of 58.33 mm radial growth at 30±1ºC and 52.33 mm radial growth at 25±1ºC at 14 days post-inoculation.
