Abstract

Nineteen strains of Pleurotus
djamor, 17 Mexican strains and 2 Japanese strains, were cultivated on barley straw at pilot plant level. Yield analyses
considered primordia initiation, biological efficiency (BE), production rate (PR), number of flushes and size of the fruiting
bodies. One Mexican strain showed the highest yield, 616.45 g of mushrooms (fresh weight) in 7 flushes, reaching 123% BE,
1.96% PR and producing basidiomes with more than 15 cm pileus diameter. BE of the remaining strains fluctuated between
24 and 69% and PR between 0.74 and 1.96%.
