    Cultivation of Medicinal Mushroom: Schizophyllum Commune
    (Addis Ababa University, 2014-06-02) Assefa Woineshet; Abate Dawit (PhD)
    Cultivation of edible and medicinal mushrooms on lignocellulosic wastes represents one of the most economically and cost effective organic recycling processes. Solid-state cultivation (SSC) was carried out to evaluate the suitability of using the logs of Eucalyptus globulus, Cupressus lusitanica, Gravillea robusta, Acacia abyssinica, coffee husk and cotton seed and the logs of Eucalyptus globulus, Cupressus lusitanica, Gravillea robusta and Acacia as substrates for cultivation of S.commune. The number of flushes, yield and biological efficiency of the S.commune grown on Eucalyptus, Cupressus, Gravillea and Acacia spp. were studied. S.commune recorded at least four flushes on all the substrates used and supported fruiting bodies formation on (Eucalyptus, Cupressus, Gravillea and Acacia). Flush 1 gave the highest yield in g/kg while flush 4 gave the lowest yield. Significant differences application.
