Abstract

Fruit body and spore print colors of 15 strains of Plcurotus spp were studied. Upon cultivation of 6 strains
producing colored fruit bodies and 2 commercial strains, the highest yields were produced by the commercial strain PLEUS
and 2 strains with gray and pink fruit bodies (IE-136 and POROS), with values of I 0 I, 132 and 116 % respectively. Yields
ofthe other 4 strains with colored fiuit bodies, ffi-67-1 (77%), RP (78%), P-15 (60%), and ECS-127 (65%) were similar to
that of the second commercial stain, TNIREB-8 (67%). Upon dedikaryotization of7 strains producing fruit bodies of diverse
colors, the two monokaryotic components (neohaplonts) were recovered from 3 strains but only one component of the other
4 strains. By pairing all these neohaplonts, these 7 strains were sorted into 3 intersterility groups. Strains with pink and
orange fruit bodies belonged to the first group, while strains with gray fruit bodies were found in the second and third
groups. The color of the fruit bodies yielded by each strain remained constant throughout this study.
