| Popis: | Nutritive agar formulations with additions of poplar (Populus alba) sawdust, wheat (Triticum durum) bran, or milled sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seed hulls (SSH) were evaluated for mycelium cultivation of shiitake (Lentinula edodes), in petri dishes. Sawdust, 2, 3 and 4 g·L-1 (0.27, 0.40 and 0.53 oz/gal) added to MYA (malt, yeast extract and agar) medium did not improve the mycelium growth rate, while media that included 1, 2, and 3 g·L-1 (0.13, 0.27, and 0.40 oz/gal) wheat bran or 2, 3, and 4 g·L-1 (0.27, 0.40, and 0.53 oz/gal) milled SSH exhibited a significant increase in the mycelium growth rate, at 25 °C (77 °F). The use of SSH obtained directly from the oil industry was evaluated as a substrate for the cultivation of shiitake mushroom via synthetic logs in plastic bags. A linear growth test was used to previously assay the mycelium growth rate in substrate compositions with different contents of SSH, wheat bran, and poplar sawdust, at 25 °C. The largest mycelial growth rates were 2.75, 2.88, and 2.93 mm·d-1 (0.108, 0.113, and 0.115 inch/day) for the substrates formulated with 8 SSH: 2 wheat bran, 9 SSH: 1 poplar sawdust, and 8 SSH: 1 wheat bran: 1 poplar sawdust by weight, respectively. The synthetic logs showed a daily production rate of 2 kg shiitake/100 kg dry substrate for a 55 days cycle production with a simple formula containing 37.5% SSH, 0.5% calcium carbonate (CaCO3), 2% calcium sulfate (CaSO4), and 60% water. Addition of wheat bran to the SSH-based synthetic log produced no significant differences on biological efficiency, mushroom production, or productivity. |
