Abstract
Pleurotus sajor-caju as gray oyster mushroom, is one of the edible mushrooms being cultivated worldwide. In this study, the optimal growth conditions for the mycelia were evaluated. The influence of nutritional and physical factors such as liquid media, pH level, temperature, illumination and shaking conditions were investigated. The fresh and dry weights of mycelia were used in determining the optimum growth conditions. Results showed that rice bran decoction broth (RBDB) at pH 5.5, incubated in room temperature (28 degrees Celsius), alternating light and dark and static conditions are the best conditions for mycelial growth of P. sajor-caju.
