Studies were conducted to determine the yield potential, vitamins and heavy metals concentrations of Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fries) Quell. fruit bodies cultivated on different wood logs. Pure mycelium culture of P. pulmonarius was aseptically multiplied using sorghum grains. Fully colonized spawn was used to inoculate Mangifera indica, Dacryodes edulis and Treculia africana logs and incubated in the dark room of a mushroom house at 27°C ± 2. Data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), while comparison between different means were done using Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) at p<0.05 level of significance. Fruit body primordia of the oyster mushroom were first observed in D. edulis logs, followed by T. africana and then M. indica logs after 9, 10 and 12 days of inoculation respectively. T. africana gave the highest yield (156.0967 gm/kg) and Biological efficiency (0.836%) of P. pulmonarius fruit bodies while D. edulis was lowest at 62.3667 gm/kg and 0.200% biological efficiency. Fruit bodies of M. indica had the highest (3.19 mg/kg) Zn content; slightly higher than those of T. africana (3.14 mg/kg), while fruit bodies from D. edulis gave the lowest Zn (2.96 mg/kg) concentration. Fe was significantly (p<0.05) higher than other heavy metals studied in all the fruit body samples from the log substrates. Mushrooms of D. edulis gave the highest (184.87 mg/kg) Fe concentration while those of M. indica gave the lowest (182.91 mg/kg). Results

Background and Objective: Lovastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that occurs naturally in food such as red yeast, rice, etc. Some of the medicines in the statin class include pitavastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin and many more. This study was designed to investigate the lovastatin yield dynamics in white rot fungi cultivated on lignocellulosic substrates. The test mushrooms were Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus Pulmonarius and sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium. Materials and Methods: Andropogon gayanus substrate was weighed into three (3) portions; the first two were 12500 g each, for mature fruit bodies of P. ostreatus and P. pulmonarius while the third (17,500 g) for immature P. ostreatus. Another portion of sawdust (12500 g) was exclusively used for P. pulmonarius and P. tuber-regium. Spawns of the former were inoculated into 300 g sawdust while sclerotial crumbs of the latter were sown in same amount of sawdust, under favorable conditions. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, IBM SPSS version 21 and by Tukey's HSD at p<0.05. Results: Pleurotus ostreatus cultured on Andropogon gayanus substrate had the highest yield of mature sporophore (11,456.20±0.11g) with bio-efficiency (91.65%), followed by sawdust (10,297.10±0.10) while immature P. ostreatus yielded 7,056.00±0.18 g with BE (40.32±0.12%). Stipe length of P. tuber-regium was significant (5.600±0.17), cap diameter (18.60±0.10) and weight (52.30±0.11). Highest concentration (40.04%) of lovastatin was recorded in mature P. ostreatus sporophores grown on A. gayanus. Conclusion: Andropogon gayanus is strongly recommended for large-scale production of P. ostreatus fruit bodies for commercial production of lovastatin in Nigeria.
