Abstract:
Milky mushroom (Calocybe indica) is one of the most important mushrooms commonly called as “Kuduk”.Milky mushroom was commercialized as a new variety C. indica, var. APK2 from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India and can be cultivated throughout the summer season. This mushroom is well appreciated due to its large-sized milky white sporophores, simple production technology and low capital investment. There is no need to compost the substrate for its cultivation as the mycelium can degrade the cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin by secretion of various extracellular enzymes. Attempts on identification of potential strain and cultivation technology has been for the immurement inoculation technology. supplementation in casing and substrates, evaluation of cheap locally available substrates, Temperature and use of organic material etc.
Are needed the present investigation were carried out on Commercial production with different ratio of sugarcane leaf with wheat straw on milky mushroom of two strain of Calocybe spp. (CI.-16-02, CI.-16-03). The result is present investigation shows that different substrates on yield of milky mushroom such as result indicated that in CI-16-03 maximum yield was observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). Minimum days for spawn run (19.50days) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). The Minimum days for pin head formation (21.75 days) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). The Minimum days for first harvesting (27.00 days) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). The Maximum number of pinhead initiation (62.25) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). The Maximum numbers of fruiting bodies (24.75) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1). The Maximum average weight of fruiting bodies (27.42 gm) was observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1).
