Abstract

The objective of this study was to improve the seed production of Volvariellavolvaceain Daloa(central-west Cote dIvoire). Tissue fragments were cultured on PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar)medium for the production of mycelium. Once the mycelium was obtained, it was inoculated into jars containing pre-cooked cereals (maize, sorghum) and legumes and sterilized (at 121°C). When the jars are completely covered with mycelium, the different parameters are measured. The results obtained showed that the mycelium of Volvariellavolvaceacan propagate on PDA medium, legumes and also cereals. The seed production of Volvariellavolvaceais susceptible to contamination. Results after 10 days of incubation showed that the mycelium grows best on the following substrates: sorghum (14.1 cm), soybean (13.4) and bean (12.9 cm). Corn showed low values (6.3 cm) for mycelial growth.
