Base Substrate Sorghum Supplied with Nitrogen Additive Enhanced the Proliferation of Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) Kummer) Mushroom Spawn Mycelium
Abstract: The experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. Fr. ) Kummer mycelium on spawn media prepared from base substrate sorghum supplemented with combination of additives namely wheat bran, CaCO3, CaSO4, urea, sucrose and citric acid. Five spawn substrate combinations in 3 replications had been tested and data on fresh mycelial weight change 5, 10, 15, and 20 days after inoculation (DAI) and percentage mycelium coverage (PMC) at 20 DAI were collected. Completely randomized design was employed and the data was analyzed using SAS version 9.0. The result indicated differences in mycelial fresh weight (p
