Mycelial growth on agar media (PDA, standard, wheat, MEA, CYM, PCA, sawdust extracts: alder and mixture of beech and birch (1:1)) and sawdust substrates (birch, beech, oak, maple, alder) was investigated. Petri dishes (O 9 cm) for agar media and biological tubes (18 cm long and O 2.5 cm) for sawdust substrates were used. Yield and morphological features were studied on birch, beech and mixture of beech and alder (1:1) sawdust substrates. The temperature of inoculation for agar media and sawdust substrates was 25 °C. For yielding, when mycelium has completely overgrown the substrate the temperature was decreased to 15-17 °C to initiate primordia formation. The cultivation was enlightened 10 h/d with daylight lamps (500 lx). One crop was harvested after five weeks. The carpophores of black poplar mushrooms were picked up in clusters. There was no statistically important difference between the mycelial growths of the investigated strains. The best growing agar media were PDA (7.3 cm), MEA (7.2 cm) and wheat (7.1 cm), both strains showed the slowest mycelium growth on CYM (5.2 cm). The mycelial growth on sawdust was the best on the beech (7.1 cm) and birch (6.8 cm) sawdust. The best substrate for cultivation ofRead More
