Effect of Armeniaca Sawdust Substitute Cultivation on Yield and Quality of Lentinula edodes
In order to study the feasibility of cultivating Lentinula edodes with Armeniaca sawdust as the base material,the Quercus sawdust was replaced by 15.8%,31.6%,47.4% and 63.2% of Armeniaca sawdust.The results showed that there were no significant differences in mycelia growth,pollution rate and biological efficiency among different treatments.Each experimen-tal group concentrated fruiting on the first two flushes,and the single stick yield increased significantly with the increase of Ar-meniaca sawdust proportion.Armeniaca sawdust added 47.4%,the first three flushes accounted for 90.54% of the total produc-tion.When Armeniaca sawdust was added by 63.2%,the yield increased by 20.5 g per stick.The content of crude polysaccha-ride in fruit bodies increased with the addition of Armeniaca sawdust,when it added 63.2%,the content of polysaccharide in-creased by 1.03 g per 100 g fruit bodies.
