Abstract
Nutritional and physical requirements for mycelial growth and fruiting body production of six strains of Pleurotus djamor from Luzon Island, Philippines
Highlights
Macrofungi, called macroscopic fungi, are those producing fruiting bodies that are visible to the naked eye (Tang et al, 2015)
Four indigenous culture media and four commercial dehydrated media were evaluated for the mycelial growth of six P. djamor strains
Corn grit decoction gulaman (CGDG) and malt extract agar (MEA) were favorable for TLPD 1, 3 and 5, respectively
Summary
Macrofungi, called macroscopic fungi, are those producing fruiting bodies that are visible to the naked eye (Tang et al, 2015). Li et al (2005) reported that ganoderic acid X obtained from Ganoderma lucidum inhibits topoisomerases and sensitizes the cancer cells toward apoptosis In this regard, it is of our desire to develop drugs and functional food derived from Philippine native mushroom species. The fruiting bodies of this mushroom contain ergosterol, triacylglycerols, fatty acids methyl esters, which are reported to be responsible for antitumor and antioxidant properties (Ragasa et al, 2016). It possesses nematocidal metabolites, which can be used as an alternative antihelminthic (Pineda-Alegria et al, 2017). The fruiting body production using rice straw and sawdust-based substrate formulation in growing house condition was investigated
