A preliminary study on cultivation of Iranian wildgrowing medicinal mushroom Lentinus tigrinus
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Wild mushrooms have been known to provide a significant source of nutritional and medicinal bioactive compounds. However, the production of fruiting bodies or mycelia in a standardized quality remains a challenge in utilization of wild mushrooms as drugs, nutraceuticals or other purposes. The present work, for the first time, aimed to evaluate mycelium growth characteristics and cultivate an ITS-identified Iranian wild strain of Lentinus tigrinus using agro-waste substrates locally available in the country. The findings indicated that the radial growth of mycelia on MEGA media was significantly greater with a higher density than that on PDA or MEA media (p < 0.05). The wild strain was then demonstrated to successfully produce normal mushrooms at a biological efficiency of 56.66% in sawdust substrates enriched with wheat bran. Therefore, the findings of this study may facilitate further investigations which require fruiting bodies or fresh mycelia in order to evaluate biological activities of wild strains of L. tigrinus.
