Abstract:

Present study was carried out to study spawn production of different Schizophyllum commune strains using wheat, maize and paddy grain. Wheat grain was found to be most effective medium for complete spawn development, requiring the shortest duration (9.66 days) by strains SC-06p and SC-01, followed by paddy grain (11.33 days) by strain SC-06p. Among substrates, wheat straw was superior showing the shortest spawn run period, earliest pinhead formation and reduced time to first harvest, followed by Paddy straw. Saw dust required the longest spawn run days by strain SC-02 and SC-03 (19.33 days). The highest yield was recorded on wheat straw substrate by strain Sc-06p (18.30 kg per 100 kg wet substrate), followed by Paddy straw substrate by strain SC-06p (17.66 kg per 100kg wet substrate).


Keywords: Schizophyllum commune, Wheat straw substrate, Paddy straw substrate, Saw dust substrate
