Abstract:
Mushrooms respond differently when grown on different culture media with respect to their mycelial characters and growth pattern. pH and temperature also affect the mycelial growth rate. Among the various culture media tested Pleurotus eryngii grew well on Potato palm sugar media. Among the various temperature and pH conditions tested, it grew well at 25 ℃ at pH 5-6. This study showed that P. eryngii prefers Potato palm sugar medium at 25 ℃ under slightly acidic to neutral pH condition.
