Resumen
Descripción
Pleurotus ostreatus, worldwide known as oyster mushroom, was cultivated in banana straw using inocula produced by two different processes- liquid inoculum and the traditionally used solid inoculum. Different ratios (5, 10, 15, and 20%) were tested. Biological efficiency, yield,productivity, organic matter loss, and moisture of fruiting bodies as well as physical-chemical characteristics of banana straw were studied.Significant differences were observed for cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose content between one and two harvests for both solid and liquidinocula. It was observed thatP. ostreatusgrowth promoted higher degradation of lignin (80.36%), followed by hemicellulose (78.64%) andcellulose (60.37%). Significant differences between one and two harvests were also observed for the production parameters (biologicalefficiency and yield) for both kinds of inocula, liquid and solid. However, significant differences in productivity between harvests wereobserved only for solid inoculum.
