Abstract

The main material used for mushroom production is sawdust, but the shortage of sawdust is now a serious problem caused by the rapid increase in mushroom demand. We cultivated Tamogitake (Pleurotus cornucopiae var. citrinopileatus), Hiratake (Pleurotus ostreatus), Enokitake (Flammulina velutipes), Bunashimeji (Hypsizigus marmoreus) and Eringi (Pleurotus eryngii) on a cut-cardboard medium. This medium contained the chips (2×2 mm) of corrugated cardboard, instead of sawdust. The medium was supplemented by rice bran as a nutrient supplement. The rates of mycelial growth of Tamogitake and Hiratake on cut-cardbord media were higher than those of the sawdust medium. Those of Enokitake, Bunashimeji and Eringi on cut-cardbord media were almost the same as those of the sawdust medium. The fruiting of these five mushrooms occurred on the cut-cardbord medium and the yield of fruit-bodies was significantly higher than that of the saw-dust medium.
