Investigation on propagation of master spawn technology of Oudemansiella raphanipes (Beck.) Pegler & T.W.K. Young

Abstract

Oudemansiella raphanipes (Beck.) Pegler & T.W.K. Young has been known popularly due to its great medical and nutritional values. The aim of this study was to acquire basic data regarding the suitable conditions for Oudemansiella raphanipes (Beck.) Pegler & T.W.K. Young mycelial growth in culture medium. The results of the study illustrated that Lilly and glucose-peptone were selected as the most suitable culture media for cultivation of Oudemansiella raphanipes (Beck.) Pegler & T.W.K. Young. The optimal temperature and pH for the mycelial growth of Oudemansiella raphanipes (Beck.) Pegler & T.W.K. Young were 25±1⁰ C and pH=7, respectively. The carbon and nitrogen sources for the optimal mycelial growth were D-fructose and yeast extract, respectively.
