EFFECT OF SUBSTRATE AND MOISTURE CONTENT ON MYCELIAL GROWTH OF GANODERMA LUCIDUM (LEYSS. EX. FR.) KARST
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Different substrates and moisture regimes were evaluated for mycelial growth optimization of Ganoderma lucidum. The fungal mycelium was grown on three substrates, viz. wheat straw, saw dust and wheat straw + saw dust (1:1) with four moisture levels, viz., 60±2 percent, 70±2 percent, 80±2 percent and 90±2 percent and radial growth was recorded at an interval of 3, 6, 9 and 12 days after inoculation. Maximum mycelial growth of G. lucidum was obtained in substrate, wheat straw + saw dust (24.78 mm) followed by saw dust (18.75 mm) and wheat straw (13.33 mm) at 70±2 percent moisture content. On the other hand, minimum mycelial growth was recorded at 90±2 percent moisture content of substrates in wheat straw + saw dust (13.73mm), followed by saw dust (9.30 mm) and wheat straw (7.13 mm) alone. Among the evaluated substrates having different moisture content, maximum mycelial growth was obtained at a moisture level of 70±2 percent followed by 80±2 percent, 60±2 percent and 90±2 percent irrespective of substrate used.
