| dc.description.abstract | Pleurotus sajor-caju is one of the most successfully grown species of Pleurotus. In this study, the influence of coconut water gulaman and different conditions suc as pH, aeration, illumination and temperature on mycelial growth was evaluated. Moreover, coconut based substrate using different combinations of rice straw and coconut sawdust were used in fruiting body production. maximum mycelial growth was observed in mature coconut water gulaman with pH 8.0 incubated in stealed and dark condition at 29.9°C. Among the different substrate formulation used, 7 parts rice straw + 3 parts coconut sawdust registered the shortest incubation period and shortest number of days to primordial initiation while the longest incubation period and longest period to primordial initiation were recorded in pure coconut sawdust. the fruiting bodies that were harvested from pure rice straw exhibited the highest diameter of pileus, length of stripe, while the fruiting bodies of 7 parts rice straw + 3 parts cocnut sawdust yielded the highest weight, and biological efficiency. | |
