Abstract

Calocybe indica grows in hot humid climate hence this mushroom is highly suitable for cultivation in most of the plains of India almost throughout the year (except in cold climatic conditions). The aim of the present study was to investigate the radial growth and yield performance of C. indica in different concentrations with respect to two growth regulators, namely, Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and Gibberellic acid (GA). Incorporation of the growth regulators increased the yield and number of sporophores of both strains APK-2 and CI-6. Wheat straw substrate supplemented with different concentrations of growth regulators took less period for pinhead formation, first harvesting, higher yield and number of sporophore in case of both strains as compared to control (without supplemented).
