The purpose of this study is to determine whether the media that contain 1% malt extract and 1%, 1.5% or 2% wheat flour or barley crumb significantly decrease the mycelium development period of Pleurotus species, P. ostreatus, P. sapidus and P. sajor-caju, compared with the media that merely contains 1% malt extract and to establish which media is more appropriate to produce mycelia of these species vegetatively. As a result, of this study, the media that contain 1% barley crumb and 1% malt extract for P. ostreatus, 1.5% barley crumb and 1% malt extract for P. sapidus, and 1.5% barley crumb and 1% malt extract for P. sajor-caju has been suggested.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle1431992062-s2.0-0031662276N/A
