Abstract: A study was conducted to examine the effect of different types of sugars viz. Sucrose (1.5%), Sucrose (1.0%), Maltose (1.5%), Maltose (1.0%), Glucose (1.5%), Glucose (1.0%), Lactose (1.5%) and Lactose (1.0%) were used as supplements in spawn production of milky mushroom strain (CI-16-04). Maximum spawn growth was observed at 20 day observations in glucose @ 1.5% and sucrose @ 1.5% followed by glucose @ 1%. The minimum spawn growth in lactose @ 1% followed by lactose @ 1.5%, which is significantly, at par while in control as observed. Regarding spawn growth rate (mm/day) in strain CI-16-04, maximum spawn growth rate was observed in two treatments in glucose @ 1.5% and sucrose @ 1.5% followed by glucose @ 1%. The minimum spawn growth rate was found in lactose @ 1%.
