Omschrijving
Samenvatting:Volvariella volvacea, a mushroom which is commonly produced on oil palm pericarp waste manly for subsistence interest, was cultivated using paddy straw and three different levels of sorghum grain spawn. Fruit bodies were obtained between 10 and 35 days after spawning. Cumulative fresh mushroom yields of approximately 2.31kg, 4.15kg and 4.97kg were obtained for every 15.5kg of dry straw used at 6.0%, 9.68% and 12% spawn rates, respectively. Approximately 74% of the total yield was obtained during the first flush. There was a significant increase in yield as spawn rate increased. A general decrease in average weight with increasing age of culture was observed.
