“…On the average of two trials, strain, OE-272 took lowest time for fi rst harvest and yielded mushrooms almost at par with other high yielding strains like OE-213, OE-215 and OE-274, which fruited later than strain, OE-272. Yield evaluation trials for selecting a better performing strain or single spore isolate have also been performed earlier by several workers [6,[18][19][20], but none of them have correlated the morphological and biochemical characteristics of a strain with its yield potential. Strain evaluation trails by using substrate prepared with different methods have not been carried out earlier, except by Garcha et al [19], who also compared yield potential of 6 strains on paddy straw substrate prepared by a single method but on different methods of bed preparation.…”

Out of 26 strains of Volvariella volvacea used, 18 were of 'typical' type and possessed all the characteristics of a normal V. volvacea mycelium, while the rest 4 'atypical' type strains showed completely distinct mycelial growth characteristics. The remaining 4 strains grew very slowly and exhibited growth characteristics of single spore isolates of V. volvacea. Strains varied in their extracellular lignocellulolytic activities and strains; OE-274, OE-272 and OE-210 with high ligninase enzymes (laccase and polyphenol oxidase) activities, gave highest mushroom yield on pasteurized paddy straw substrate. On the composted paddy straw substrate, additional two strains, OE-213 and OE-215 with lower activities of ligninases also gave higher mushroom yield. Mushrooms were harvested 3 to 4 d early from the composted substrate than on the pasteurized substrate. Activities of endoglucanase, laccase and polyphenol oxidase were found to be more crucial for mushroom yield on pasteurized substrate, while xylanase and β-glucosidase were more important for composted substrate. Strains also varied in their fruiting bodies quality and the substrate used for mushroom cultivation also affected the fruiting body quality. The superior yielding strains varied in shape, size, weight, colour and contents of sodium and potassium in their fruiting bodies; while contents of carbon, calcium and protein did not vary much with the strains.

“…Biological efficiency of this mushroom variably depends on the orientation of beds, compactness, shape and number of beds. Garcha and his co-workers reported a significant increase in the production of fruiting bodies on the helix and tyre type beds [12]. Beds are covered with polythene sheets, which might promote mycelial ramification by maintaining a constant temperatureand showing higher yield [13,14].…”

A field experiment was carried out during the summer season to study the effect of microclimate modification on growth and yield of paddy straw mushroom under outdoor cultivation as maize intercrop. A Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) with eight treatments comprising the combination of spacing (60 x 25 cm, 45 x 25 cm, paired row 45/75 x 25 cm, and paired row 30/60 x 25 cm) and mulching (with or without application), in three replications was used for this study. The study concluded that maximum average yield was obtained in normal spacing 45x25 cm coupled with mulching (578 g bed-1) with high biological efficiency of 19.3 per cent. The results inferred that both the afternoon (14.22 hours) microclimate variables viz., temperature (low) and relative humidity (high) had played major role for higher yield and Biological Efficiency (BE) of paddy straw mushroom as maize intercrop. Normal row spacing (45 x 25 cm) with or without mulch and paired row spacing (30/60 x 25 cm) with mulch provided favourable microclimate during summer for faster growth, higher yield and biological efficiency for paddy straw mushroom intercropped maize which in turn might be adopted by the farmers for the outdoor cultivation of paddy straw mushroom.
