Abstract

Tricholoma giganteum Heim, is a new tropical edible mushroom identified from natural location of Kerala, India. The morphological identity of the species was confirmed by ITS sequencing. The isolate was brought into pure culture on potato dextrose agar medium, followed by spawn preparation on paddy grains. Spawn run was completed on paddy grains within 20 days. Cultivation trials were undertaken on paddy straw, using poly bag method of cultivation, followed by casing. The mushroom took 25 days for complete spawn run, when paddy straw was used as bed substrate. Preliminary cultivation trials, resulted in the production of 3-4 sporocarps per bed.
