Abstract

A comparative evaluation was conducted to assess the effects of different carbon sources on the mycelial growth of three species of ectomycorrhizal macrofungi;Infundibulicybe geotropa (Bull.) Harmaja, Tricholoma anatolicum H.H. DoÄŸan & Intini andLactarius deliciosus (L.) Gray. All carbon sources were found to be equally beneficial for mycelial growth. However, sucrose, glucose and arabinose were found to be better carbon source in solid culture for L. deliciosus, T. anatolicum and I. geotropa as the maximum biomass values in the liquid medium at the end of 56 days incubation period and were measured as 66.0, 43.0 and 97.0 mg, respectively.

 

Key words: Carbon sources, Infundibulicybe geotropa, Tricholoma anatolicum, Lactarius deliciosus.
