| Description |
In the present paper five wild Pleurotus species viz., P. floridanus (Sing.)., P. pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél.,
P. sapidus Quél., P. cystidiosus O.K.Mill. and P. sajor-caju (Fr.) Sing., collected, identified and isolated from
different regions of North West India to study the behavior of culture on solid medium (Potato
Dextrose Agar). On the daily basis observations, all the species exhibited different growth characteristics with
respect to growth rate, odor and colour. It was observed that among the five cultures the fastest growth was
observed in Pleurotus cystidiosus (1.3 cm/day) on an average daily basis followed by Pleurotus pulmonarius
(1.23 cm/day), P. sajor - caju (1.2 cm/day), P. sapidus (1.1 cm/day) and P. floridanus (0.8 cm/day) which has the
slowest growth rate observed among all the species on an average daily basis. During the entire growth stage
the colour of the mycelium remained white. A specialized feature among all the species was observed in P.
cystidiosus with the formation of specialized black headed structure called coremia. Coremia formation started
in the form of small protuberances on the entire tissue simultaneously. Initially tiny watery droplets having
blackish color appeared on the white stalk which after 3 days of protuberance. Mycelial mat was observed to
thin at initial stages but later on changing to thick. In all the species the hyphal construction was found to be
monomitic having generative hyphae with prominent clamps. All the studied species emitted scented smell
