Abstract

The mycelium growth performance of Pleurotus florida on six different culture media were investigated. Six different culture media viz., potato dextrose agar, malt extract agar, compost extract agar, wheat extract agar, nutrient agar media and bajara agar media for mycelial growth of P. florida were tested. Among these media tested, malt extract agar was found to be the best medium and the mycelial growth of P. florida. Significantly highest mycelial growth of P. florida was recorded on malt extract agar at the 3rd, 5th and 8th days after incubation which was 28.00, 31.00 and 90.00 mm, respectively followed by potato dextrose agar.
