Peat extract as a carbon source for the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium

Wireko Manu‐Tawiah, Antonio M. Martin

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Abstract The submerged culture of edible mushroom mycelium has been studied because of its potential to produce food, food additives and food supplements. One of the species of edible mushrooms which have been cultivated in submerged culture for the production of mycelial biomass is Pleurotus ostreatus (Zadrazil 1978). The growth of P ostreatus con peat and its mycelium cultivation in peat extracts have also been reported (Manu‐Tawiah and Martin 1986, 1987).
