Abstract
This study was carried out to examine different cultures media for growth two species of fungi belonging to the genus oyster mushroom Pleurotus named Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii. Cultures media used for this purpose were Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), yeast Extract agar (YEA)., Malt Extract Agar(MEA) and Sabouraud dextrose Agarin addition to study effect of physical factors as temperatures and pH on growth rate of fungal mycelium. The results shown that the cultures media PDA and Sabouraud revealed best growth rate for Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii which recorded 5 cm/day and 4 cm/day respectively in compared with MEA media which not show any growth. The optimum pH for growth two species of fungi were 7 that showed highest growth rate of 5 cm/day while the optimum temperature for the development of these fungus were 25 C and a fungal growth rate were 5 cm/day and 4 cm/day for Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii respectively.
