Cultivation of Florida Oyster Mushroom on Various Types of Substrate

چکیده
Valorisation of agricultural wastes is one of the main objectives for activity optimization in agriculture industry. One method for waste utilization implies their use as substrate for obtaining edible mushrooms, which are a raw material of interest in current food industry. The aim of the paper was the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida species, on diverse common plant wastes. The species had good fructification, resulting numerous pins on the surface of the substrate, the cap diameter reaching a maximum of 4 to 5 cm. The color of the basidium was brighter, because the cultivation temperatures were above 20°C most of the time. The fructification time decreased with the increase of inoculation rate. Although major differences haven’t been determined for morphological characteristics of the fructification body, the supplementation of the substrate formula with other components determined approximately 10% increase in productivity. The study proved that applying supplements to the substrate formula lead to the optimization of valorisation of plant wastes taken into consideration. Also, the use of supplements did not stimulate infection rate of the substrate.

Oyster mushroom Pleurotus florida was cultivated on different combinations of wheat straw (WS) as basal substrate and oyster shell powder (OSP) supplement. The OSP supplementation considerably responded to different cultivation phases. The mycelium grew fast and showed rapid growth rate (8.91 mmd(-1)) in WS + OSP (97 + 3) combination while WS + OSP (92 + 8) showed maximum laccase (3.133 U/g) an...

Alternative re-usable substrate containers for fructification are required because plastic bags currently used suffocate soil biotic entities. They are a cost for mushroom farmers who purchase plastic bags in every oyster mushroom crop and they are left as non-biodegradable wastes, which are disposed of to the environment after every oyster mushroom cropping. On the other hand, oyster mushroom ...

ABSTRACT- Almost all oyster mushroom producers in Iran produce this kind of mushroom without any kind of casing soil. Although different kinds of casing soils are available for Agaricus bisporus, limited information is available regarding Pleurotus ostreatus. Availability of peat in many regions around the world is a concern and some researchers' efforts have been devoted to a search for altern...
