dc.description.abstractThe present studies were carried out to investigate the possibility of growing shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) under Haryana conditions on locally available substrates. The physiological studies were done to determine the optimum pH and temperature conditions for vegetative growth of L. edodes under in vitro conditions. Shiitake required temperature of 25oC and acidic pH (4-6) for optimum vegetative growth. Among different media, potato dextrose agar supported maximum growth and Czapek Dox agar supported the least growth. Among different agro-residue extract media wheat straw extract agar was best for mycelial growth of L. edodes under in vitro conditions. Paddy straw + sawdust extract agar medium supported the least growth. The cellulolytic activity of L. edodes was determined to assess its cellulose degrading ability. The Exo β-1, 4 glucanase activity was 0.018 and 0.019 μmol/ ml/ min and the Endo β-1, 4 glucanase activity was 0.033 and 0.036 μmol/ ml/ min for strains S1 and S2 respectively. Bajra grains were most suited for its spawn production.Wheat straw was found to be most suitable substrate for cultivation of L. edodes under Haryana conditions. The spawn run was earlier on wheat straw. The low temperature (15oC) induced fruiting in the shiitake mushroom. The wheat straw as substrate gave higher yield and had more biological efficiency than sawdust used as substrate for cultivation of shiitake mushroom. The crude protein content of shiitake mushroom was 21.2 per cent.en_US
