Cultivation of Agaricus bisporus on wheat straw and waste tea leaves based compost formulas using wheat chaff as activator material

This study was designed to determine the pin head formation time and yield values of Agaricus bisporus on some casing materials. Composts were prepared basically from wheat straw and waste tea leaves by using wheat chaff as activator substance. Temperatures of the compost formulas were measured during composting at various depths in order to determine the compostability level. Results showed that in both compost types, maximum temperature values were recorded in the second turning stage. Composting was completed in 21 days for both composts. While the fastest pin head formation (12.50 days) was obtained on wheat straw based compost using peat of Bolu (PB) and peat of Agacbasi (PA) (50+50; in volume); waste tea leaves based compost using peat of Caykara (PC) and forest soil (FS) mixture (50+50; in volume) as casing material gave the fastest pin head formation (13.25 days). In terms of yield, a mixture of peat of Bolu and peat of Agacbasi (PA) (50+50; in volume) gave the highest yield for wheat straw based compost, a mixture of peat of Agacbasi and perlite (P) (80+20; involume) had the highest yield for waste tea leaves based compost.

Cultivation of Agaricus bisporus on wheat straw and waste tea leaves based composts using poplar leaves as activator material

This study was carried out to determine pin head formation time and mushroom yield of Agaricus bisporus on some casing materials. Composts were prepared basically from wheat straw and waste tea leaves using poplar leaves as activator material. In this study, moreover, in order to follow the evolution of the composting process, daily temperature measurements were taken. According to the results of the study, in both compost types, maximum temperature values were observed in the second turning stage. While in the first and second turning stages, inner-pile temperature of the compost was in a tendency of exhibiting steady increase, they are prone to decrease in the following turning stages. In both composts, the period of composting has finished in 19 days. While the fastest pin head formation (13 days) was obtained on wheat straw based compost using peat of Caykara (PC) and forest soil (FS) (50+50; in volume); waste tea leaves based compost using peat of Bolu (PB) and peat of Caykara (PC) mixture (50+50; in volume) as casing material gave the fastest pin head formation (13.30 days). While, a mixture of peat of Agacbasi (PA) and perlite (P) gave the highest yield for wheat straw based compost, peat of Bolu shows the highest yield for waste tea leaves based compost.

Cultivation of oyster mushroom on waste paper with some added supplementary materials

Spawn running, pin head and fruit body formation, and mushroom yield of oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus) on waste paper supplemented with peat, chicken manure and husk rice (90 + 10; 80 + 20 w:w) were studied. The fastest spawn running (mycelia development) (15.8 days), pin head formation (21.4 days) and fruit body formation (25.6 days), and the highest yield (350.2 gr) were realized with the substrate composed of 20% rice husk in weight. In general, increasing the ratio of rice husk within the substrate accelerated spawn running, pin head and fruit body formation, and resulted in increased mushroom yields, while more peat and chicken manure had a negative effect on growing.

마른진흙버섯(Phellinus gilvus)의 톱밥재배 기술에 관한 연구

마른진흙버섯(Phellinus gilvus)을 참나무톱밥, 미강, 참나무원목을 이용하여 인공재배 하였다. 배지재료의 이화학성을 분석한 결과 pH는 참나무톱밥 4.6, 미강 6.6, 전질소함량은 참나무톱밥 0.58%, 미강 2.20%, C/N비는 참나무톱밥 55.5, 미강 17.7이었다. 참나무톱밥 + 미강(90 : 10) 혼합처리에서는 균사배양소요일수 25일, 초발이소요일수 12일, 자실체 생체중 577g, 건물중 97g, 생산효율 64%로 미강 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30% 7처리 중에서 가장 우수하였으며, 참나무원목 처리는 배양소요일수 56일, 초발이소요일수 12일, 자실체 생체중 231g, 건물중 38.7g, 생산효율 25.6%로 나타나 수확량과 배양소요일수 측면에서 톱밥재배가 유리하였다. 이상의 시험결과로 마른진흙버섯(P. gilvus)의 톱밥재배 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. Present experiments were conducted to determine the possibility of artificial culture with oak sawdust block of Phellinus gilvus Mushrooms, Mycelial growth in sawdust block (oak 90 + rice bran 10, V/N) after 25 days. It took 12 days to make fruitbody from burying of sawdust block to pinhead formation. The fruitbodies produced the total fresh weight 577 g (dried weight 97 g) in a block.

EFFECTS OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF PLANT OILS AND FATTY ACIDS FOR MYCELIAL GROWTH AND PINHEAD FORMATION OF HERICIUM ERINACEUM

High concentrations of various plant oils (i.e., 5% vol/vol) with their major components of fatty acids were addedto growth media to investigate the effects on mycelial growth and pinhead formation of Hericium erinaceum. Palmitic acidwas the most stimulatory for the mycelial growth by 18.3%, which resulted in 80.0
3.9 mm of growth during 3 weeks ofincubation. Olive oil was also stimulatory, and the mycelia grew to 75.2
2.2 mm in length, which was 11.2% longer thanthe control. The addition of high levels of coconut oil and lauric acid drastically suppressed mycelial growth. All lipidadditives tested for pinhead formation, except linoleic acid, had a positive effect that shortened the period of pinheadformation by 10% to 25% compared to the control. Cottonseed and palm oils were equally the most effective for pinheadformation of H. erinaceum.
