Abstract:

L. edodes is largely cultivated in China, Japan and other Asian countries because of its taste and nutritional values. it is important nutritionally because of its higher protein, dietary fibers and important mineral contents. The present study was investigated the various spawn density and different bed substrate on the sporophore production of Lentinus edode. The revealed that that the spawn density of 20 per cent level completely colonized the beds within 31 days and the bed substrates, silver oak saw dust recorded shortest spawn run days.
