Abstract: Effect of pH on mycelial growth of P. eous of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sp.) was studied under in vitro conditions inMushroom Research Laboratory Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur at 2011-12. Different pH medium shows significant difference in radical growth P. eous of among the evaluated pH, significantly higher radial growth of P. eous was recorded at pH 6.5 (89.00 mm) and next was pH 6.00 (88.66 mm). However, significantly less (42.16 mm) growth was observed at pH 4.0 followed by 5.0 (48.83 mm). However radial growth P. eous were recorded at par in pH 6.5 and pH 6.0. The Mycelial character of P. eous forpH 6.5 was whitish pink mycelial growth with regular margin having maximum growth and white mycelial growth with irregular margin in pH 4.0 shows very poor growth.
Keywords: Pleurotus eous pink oyester mushroom pH radial growth
