Mycelium Performance of Medicinally Important Fungus (Cordyceps militaris) on Different pH and Temperature

Satpal Singh, Gopal Singh

Abstract

Medicinal Mushrooms are most valuable fungi in the world. Artificial cultivation of these fungi is trending now days in the different part of world. Many factors are influence with fungus mycelium during its growth period. So the present study was undertaken with the aim of finding out most favourable pH and temperature for mycelia growth and dry matter weight of Cordyceps militaris. In this study a range of pH (5.5-8.5) and temperature (16 - 28°C) was used. The Optimum pH for mycelium growth and dry matter weight of Cordyceps militaris was 7.0 while optimum temperature for mycelium growth and dry matter weight was 22°C.
