Growth and yield performance of milky mushroom (Calocybe indica P&C) on different substrates

Author(s):
Md. Mijan Hossain
Abstract:
Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica P&C) is cultivated commercially in India not only for its nutritional value, but also for its medicinal properties. The present research was carried out to know the effect of different substrates such as paddy straw, coconut coir, Deenanath grass, ragi straw, sugarcane bagasse, saw dust and newspapers on days for spawn run, days for primordial initiation, days for first harvest, yield performance and biological efficiency of milky mushroom. Lowest time required for spawn running, primordial initiation and first day of harvest was recorded in paddy straw. Amongst the substrates, paddy straw showed highest yield and biological efficiency followed by Deenanath grass, coconut coir, newspapers and sugarcane bagasse, respectively. Least yield of mushroom was obtained in sawdust.
