ABSTRACT
The comparison of Amount of mycelial
development and fructification of Pleurotus ostreatus was carried out
using 3 different agro wastes (lawn grass vertiver and seam weed) as
substrate;,Malt Extract Agar was used for the laboratory medium by mixing 1 0g
of the Malt Extract Broth powder and agar powder in 500ml of water. The
preparation was autoclaved at I 2 I O for 15 minutes and allowed to cool to 45°
10ml of the medium was poured into sterile Petri dishes and allowed to gel.
Thoroughly washed cereal grain Millet (Penniseturn spp) was soaked overnight
and then autoclaved. On cooling, pure culture of Pleurotus ostreatus were
inoculated into the grains and incubated at 28 ± 1C for about 2 weeks. Finally,
dry vertivers grass, dry lawn grass and seam weed was soaked overnight and
pasteurized for 2 hours at a temperature of 80'C in a gas heated drum. On
cooling 40 g of the grain spawn were inoculated into the substrates
fructification started 2 weeks after inoculation. Lawn grass produced more fruit
bodies, followed by the vertiver and then the seam weed.
