Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to observe the different culture media for mycelia growth of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) for its suitability. Mushroom culture growth was observed on three different media viz. Wheat extract agar medium, Yeast extract agar medium and Potato Dextrose Agar medium (PDA) and results showed that growth was faster on wheat extract agar medium i.e. 9 days to completely covered on a petri plate of 9 cm diameter when compared with PDA and Yeast agar medium which took 10 & 11 days respectively. This investigation will help to researchers, scientists for selection of suitable culture medium for culture, sub-culture and maintenance of mushroom culture of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus).
