ABSTRACT
The oyster mushioom, Pieurotus ostreatus was
inoculated and cultured in three different media. The first medium contains
vitamin B( (thiamine), the second medium contains vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
while the third medium contain no vitamins at all and serves as a control
experiment. The experiment was carried out to determine whether the vitamins
will improve or inhibit the growth of the mushroom mycelia. It was observed that
vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) performed best I' followed by the control and finally
vitamin Bi (thiamine). It therefore suggests that vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) accelerates
mycelial growth while Vitamin Bl (thiamine) inhibits mycelia growth in P.
ostreatus varjlorida The result was discussed in relation to the use of
vitamins to mass produce the mycelia of P.ostreatus which s could improve the
final yield of mushroom eventually.
