Influence of Temperature and Culture Media on Fruiting Body Formation of <I>Agrocybe cylindracea </I>(De: Fr) Maire

Abstract

Effects of temperature and culture media on fruiting body formation of Yanagi mushroom were studied at 25 °C and 30 °C in agar media (PDA) produced fruiting body formation. Five grams of standard media (saw dust media) was enough for fruiting formation. Added of sorghum in culture media bag even though showed higher yield than standard media, but did not significantly. Period for fruiting body formation were increased in added sorghum media. Percentage of fruiting body formation of less culture media (400 g/bag) was significantly higher than those of higher culture media (600 and 800 g/bag) which were not different from one another. However yield per bag of the less culture media were significantly less than those of higher culture media which were not significantly different between them.
