Optimal conditions for mycelial growth of medicinal mushrooms belonging to the genus Hericium

Abstract Hericium is a well-known genus that comprises edible and medicinal mushrooms with fleshy, distinctive white spines hang from tough, unbranched clump, grows on dying or dead wood. In preparation for the artificial cultivation of these in Thailand, an optimization mycelial growth different agar culture media, various conditions (including temperature, pH, cereal grains, agricultural waste, carbon sources, nitrogen ratio media components) was carried out. For this study, three strains H . erinaceus (MFLUCC 21-0018, MFLUCC 21-0019, 21-0020) were favorably grown OMYA medium, at 25 °C pH 4–4.5, while one strain 21-0021) grew CDA 5.5. The favorable condition coralloides 21-0050) MYPA 30 All five presented higher wheat grain. Carbon sources promoted rates using molasses yeast extract respectively, components 10:1 resulted rates. data provide requirements will be useful future development mushrooms.
