Cultivation of milky mushroom collected from different region of Chhattisgarh state

Abstract

The present study was conducted to see the biological efficiency of five strains of Calocybe indica, collected from different region and cultivated in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh state. The result revealed that the spawn run and pinhead initiation was quickest in strains CI-522 and CI-524 followed by the strain CI-530. The strain CI-524 was also found to be superior in yield attributing characters and yield performance with highest biological efficiency followed by strain CI-530 while, the strain CI-1 gave lowest yield compare to all tested strains. Similar result was recorded after re-casing on the bag, strain CI-524 recorded as superior strain and strain CI-1 did not gave yield.
