Abstract | Lentinus squarrosulus Mont. , or Hed Khon Khao, is a commercial mushroom in Thailand. Parawood sawdust is a main substrate for bag mushroom cultivation but it is quite expensive. Napier grass is a fast growing grass which can be used as an alternative source for mushroom cultivation. This study aims to investigate the effect of parawood sawdust and Napier grass mixture on mycelial growth and fruiting body production of L. squarrosulus. Parawood sawdust and Napier grass mixtures in the ratio of 100:0(T1), 90:10(T2), 80:20(T3), 70:30(T4) and 50:50(T5) were used as a main substrate in bag cultivation. C/N ratio, substrate pH, mycelial growth, fruiting body and biological efficiency (BE) were determined. The results showed that all substrates had pH value and C/N ratio in the range of 6.23-6.80 and 107.56- 160.57, respectively. Mycelial running on T1 to T4 substrates was faster than T5 substrate. T2 substrate gave higher fresh fruiting body weight (59.42?16.14 g/bag) than T1 (54.53 ? 10.67 g/bag), T3 (27.17 ? 11.98 g/bag), T4 (22.33 ? 13.70 g/bag) and T5 (4.14 ? 4.05 g/bag), respectively. In addition, there was no significant difference between BE of T1 (12.36?2.42%) and T2 (13.47?3.66%). These results suggested that 10% dried Napier grass mixture (T2) could be used to culture L. squarrosulus the same as parawood sawdust (T1) whereas higher amount of dried Napier grass resulted in significant decreasing in mushroom production. In conclusion, dried Napier grass can be used to mix with parawood sawdust for L. squarrosulus cultivation leading to the decrease of parawood sawdust usage |
