Popis: lbgBackground and Objective:l/bg ligCordyceps militaris l/igis a potential edible medicinal mushroom which containing various biological activity such as anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing, anti-protozoal and anti-microbial. The compositions of ligC. militarisl/ig media were composed of carbon source, nitrogen source and other additives. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of edible insects on the ligC. militaris l/igmycelium formation. lbgMaterials and Methods:l/bg Seven edible insects including ligBombyx mori l/igL., ligSamia ricinil/ig D., ligAcheta domesticusl/ig L., ligGryllus bimaculatusl/ig De Geer, ligTenebrio molitorl/ig L., ligRhynchophorus ferrugineusl/ig and ligLethocerus indicusl/ig were used as nitrogen source supplemented in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and the mycelium formation of each edible insects at day 7, 14 and 21 were recorded. lbgResults:l/bg The results of nitrogen source from a boiled edible insect at day 21 indicated that the highest colony diameter at 88.00 mm was obtained when cultured with PDA+ligB. moril/ig L. The results of nitrogen source from a dried edible insect at day 21 presented that the highest diameter at 84.33 mm was obtained from cultured using PDA+ligA. domesticusl/ig L. lbgConclusion:l/bg The suitable boiled and dried edible insects for the supplement in PDA were boiled ligB. moril/ig L. and dried ligA. domesticus l/igL. This is the first report about PDA supplemented with edible insects that can be increased the ligC. militarisl/ig mycelium formation which the initial stage that important for ligC. militaris l/igcultivation.
