Schizophyllum commune Fr. is an edible mushroom which is easily recognised based
on its morphology and has the potential to be commercialized in Malaysia. This study
was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between abiotic factors to the growth of
mycelia and fruiting bodies formation of S. commune. The optimum temperature for
mycelial growth was obtained at 28°C. The observed variations in colony size, mycelia
density and number of fruiting body formation, shows that pH 5 was the most
favourable for mycelia growth of S. commune. Interestingly, all seven culture media
tested were suitable for the vegetative growth of S. commune. However, in the
consideration on the mycelia spread rapidly and growth phenotype of mycelia, the most
favourable culture media for S. commune was malt extract agar supplemented with
yeast extract and glucose (MYGPA). Aeration was significantly affecting the mycelia
growth, mycelia density and fruiting body formation of S. commune (p<0.05). It shows
that unsealed culture condition produced lower mycelia growth and moderately
compact of mycelia density but could produce more fruiting body formation compared
to sealed culture condition. It was concluded that the mycelium growth of S. commune
was affected by different temperature, culture media, pH and aeration conditions which
can be used as a guideline to mushroom growers
