| dc.description.abstract | Pleurotus djamor, is also known as pink oyster mushroom due to its pink color and cap shape, is known for its rapidity in fruiting. The study was conducted to determine the mycelial growth of P. djamor on banana fruit based medium and to evaluate the fruiting body production on banana leaves based substrate formulations. Fruits of three banana varieties namely: Lakatan, latundan and Saba were used in the preparation of culture media. The mycelial growth rate, mycelial density and incubation period were determined. Moreover, different banana based substrate formulations such as 100% banana leaves, 75% banana leaves + 25% sawdust, 50% banana leaves + 50% sawdust, 25% banana leaves + 75% sawdust, 100% sawdust and 70% rice straw + 30% sawdust were evaluated. Results showed that saba sucrose gulaman exhibited faster mycelial growth rate (11.79 mm/day), shortest incubation period (7.67 days) and thick mycelial density. On the other hand, potato dextrose gulaman (control) recorded the slowest mycelial growth rate (9.33 mm/day), longest incubation period (9.67 days) and very thick mycelial density. Among the different substrate formulations, 70% rice straw + 30% banana leaves (control) exhibited shorter incubation period (26.73 days), shorter duration of primordial formation (28.93 days) and longest stipe length (14.82 mm). Lastly 50% banana leaves + 50% sawdust exhibited highest yield (136.51 g) and highest biological efficiency. | |
