Description

Here’s a treat for all mushroom enthusiasts and beginners!

As Aggie Ps Talk 4.0: Urban gardening concludes, Episode 9 features the topic titled, “Gumawa ng KABUTEhan” to discuss oyster production for beginners last May 20.

Combining their knowledge on oyster production were Dr. Teresita U. Dalisay, professor and Ms. Priscilla M. Barcial, university researcher, from the Institute of Weed Science, Entomology and Plant Pathology (IWEP).

In her presentation, Dr. Dalisay defined the term mushroom as a spore-bearing, fruiting body of a fungus. She explained that the mushroom has a spore that refers to any propagative unit. Moreover, she shared that all parts of the mushroom’s body is alive and consists of many tissues. To generate more of its fruit bodies, the mushroom has many spores that often multiply rapidly in the environment. Dr. Dalisay also presented the basic parts and type of a mushroom, as well as its life cycle.

Moving forward, Dr. Dalisay discussed some basic information of the mushroom’s growth habit and its morphological characteristics to differentiate it with other mushrooms that are more familiar. She also explained some of the growth requirements needed for successful production of oyster mushroom.

On the methodology on how to produce oyster mushroom, Dr. Dalisay explained the right steps in preparing a starter or mother culture, which included the following: materials needed, agar medium preparation, where and how to obtain tissues, and the ultimate objective of coming up with a pure culture of the starter.

Meanwhile, Ms. Barcial continued the discussion with grain spawn preparation. She explained that the main material to be used could be any of the following cereals: sorghum, rye, millet, wheat cracked corn, or palay. On the other hand, the substrate materials for the fruiting bag reparation are sawdust, rice bran, sugar, agricultural lime, and water. Ms. Barcial also presented the step-by-step procedures in the preparation of grain spawn and fruiting bag.

The webinar has provided the viewers tips on producing edible mushroom from tissue culture preparation in the laboratory until the preparation of fruiting bag where the mushroom will be harvested. Producing your own edible mushroom would not only serve as food on our table but as source of income as well.
