Abstract
For diversification of materials for sawdust cultivation of Lentinula edodes, this study was carried out to examine adding effects of corncob and cottonseed meal on sawdust cultivation. All treatments of corncob except 100% corncob have produced fruiting-bodies. Mushroom productivity of the fungus was decreased from 174g to 45g per 2kg sawdust-based substrate in proportion to increasing corncob contents in sawdust cultivation. Meanwhile, in treatments including less than 20% cottonseed meal, the mycelial growth of the fungus was similar to control. But, the other treatments were not suitable for the mycelial growth of fungus on sawdust-based substrate. All treatments of cottonseed meal did not produce the fruiting-body of the fungus.
