Abstract
Oudemansiella sp. is a genus of the fungi belonging to Physalacriaceae family. The genus contains about 15 species that are widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions. To cultivate this wild edible species, the optimum culture conditions for its secondary mycelial growth with special reference to the influence of nutritional (different indigenous culture media), Physical (pH, aeration, illumination, and temperature) and grain spawn factors, were determined. Results of the study revealed that its secondary mycelial grew best on coconut water gulaman at a pH of 7.0, incubated unsealed, under lighted condition and at air-conditioned (23-25°C). Among all the grain spawning materials, yellow cracked corn yielded a very thick mycelial density with the shortest incubation period of 6 days. This study showed the optimum mycelial growth of Oudemansiella sp. on different indigenous culture media and its physical conditions determined in order to develop production technology. Therefore, the optimization of culture condition for mycelial growth of Oudemansiella sp. will contribute to the development of improved culture condition for its practical application and to provide additional information for other researchers in the future.
