Abstract:

The influence of various culture media viz. Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), Wheat Dextrose Agar (WDA), Malt Extract Agar (MEA) and salts (NaCl, CaCl 2 andMgSO 4 ) on the mycelial growth of Calocybe indica were investigated on three culture media. PDA media supported an excellent mycelial growth rate and density of Calocybe indica. While, WDA and MEA were ob - served to support poor mycelial growth. The mycelia of Calocybe indica grew in all three salts and in all the concentrations tested except at 20 and 25% on MgSO 4 were slight mycelial growth was initiated and few days later it withered. Inhibitory effect of dif - ferent salt was found to be varied at different concentrations. An understanding the effect of culture media and salts on mycelial growth is necessary for future application of Calocybe indica as Single Cell Protein(SCP) production.
