Fungal Incidence and Growth of Two Pleurotus Species on Sawdust of Ceiba pentandra (Linn.) Gaertn and Ficus Mucuso welw (Softwoods)
Author(s): Sobowale AA, Atoyebi FT and Adenipekun COSobowale AA, Atoyebi FT and Adenipekun CO
Objective: Nigeria is faced with one of the most pressing environmental challenge which is the large production of sawdust waste of which Ceiba pentandra and Ficus mucuso are among the major contributors. This work seeks to harness waste through mushroom cultivation thereby reducing environmental hazards usually caused by improper disposal and burning. Softwood sawdust of Ceiba pentandra and Ficus mucuso was evaluated for their effects on the production of Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus pulmonarius. Similarly, probable relationship among the fungal incidence of the substrates (sawdust) and that of mushrooms were examined. Methods: The treatments used were replicated three times in a completely randomized design. The fruiting bodies were harvested and growth parameters, total yield and biological efficiency (BE) of the mushroom were record.. View More»
