CULTURING AND SPAWNING STRATEGIES FOR CULTIVATION OF GANODERMA LUCIDUM (CURTIS) P. KARST
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To access the vegetative growth of Ganoderma lucidum on ten solid media and four liquid media. Spawn development on different grains viz., wheat, barley, maize, soybean and pearl millet was also assessed for lab scale artificial cultivation of this mushroom.Methods: Culture was raised on Potato Dextrose Medium and growth parameters were assessed on different solid and liquid media at 25±2 °C. Various grains were analyzed for best spawn development of the mushroom mycelium. Oak sawdust and wheat bran mixture was used as a substrate for cultivation of the mushroom.Results: Malt Agar Extract medium and Glucose Asparagine Solution supported the best mycelial growth among the solid and liquid media screened for the purpose. Barley grains were the best for the spawn development. Maximum yield was observed on the Oak sawdust and the wheat bran (4:1 w/w) mixture used as a substrate.Conclusion: The study revealed that this pharmacologically important mushroom can be grown under lab conditions, and more yield of the mushroom can be obtained using barley based spawn.Keywords: Cultivation, Fruiting bodies, Ganoderma lucidum, Spawn, Substrates.
