INTENSIFICATION OF GROWTH PARAMETERS OF THE MUSHROOMS PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS UNDER SOLID-PHASE CULTIVATION ON AGRICULTURAL WASTE

Abstract

The effect of laser irradiation of vegetative mycelium on growth parameters of P. ostreatus during cultivation on agricultural waste has been studied. It is shown that the greatest stimulation of growth processes was observed in response to the action of light irradiation with a wavelength of 532 nm when cultivated on a substrate with 100% wheat straw content. The results of studies on the duration of the processes of formation of the rudiments of fruiting bodies and their number show that the irradiation of the mycelium with light wavelength of 532 nm reduces the fouling time of the substrate of wheat straw by 6 days.
