Uji Lama Fermentasi Media Tumbuh Terhadap Pertumbuhan Jamur Merang (Volvariella Volvaceae) dalam Kumbang yang Dikontrol

Abstract

The exploitation of compost heap such as straw, remains of cotton, sawdust, is the important thing. Fungus cultivation is one way to exploit the compost heap. In its flowering, fungus cultivation should notice the time of fermentation and kind of growing mediator. This research was done in a container by controlling the temperature and immidity.

The purpose of this research was to test the effect of growing of small round mushroom on different growing mediators and the time of fermentation of the growing mediator. This research use Factorial Random Completed Sampling with repetition and two factors, those were the time of fermentation (L= 3 days; L2= 6 days; L3= 9 days) and the different of growing mediator (T= straw, remains of cotton; T2- straw; T3- straw, sawdust)

The result of this research indicated six days for time fermentation and growing mediator was the mixture of straw and remains of cotton that gave the best average weight and water content.
