Abstract

This research aimed to study the effect of casing material on the yield of milky mushroom (Calocybe indica). The experiment was assigned in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 4 replications each. The treatments were casing materials as follows: 1) loam soil:manure, 2) loam soil:manure:rubber sawdust, 3) loam soil:manure:rubber sawdust:sand, 4) loam soil:vermicompost, 5) loam soil:vermicompost:rubber sawdust, and 6) loam soil:vermicompost:rubber sawdust:sand.In each treatment, the ratios of casing materials were 1:1 by volume. The pinhead initiation, the number, fresh weight, size of the fruiting body, and biological efficiency were recorded.The results found that different casing materials showed significant differences in pinhead initiation, number of fruiting bodies, and the length of the stipe, but different casing materials did not show any significant difference in the diameter of the pileus, the fresh weight of milky mushroom, and percentage of biological efficiency. The diameter of the pileus was 15.13-19.65 cm. The fresh weight was from 938.3–1,238.3 g/5 bags, and the percentage of biological efficiency was from 40.60–46.29%. The loam soil, manure, and rubber saw dust tended to give the best fresh weight at 1,238.3 g/5 bags.
