The objective of this research was to study growth and
production of Coprinopsis radiata (Hed Cone Noi) in culture materials,
rice straw, bagasse, and coir. The experiments were performed in 10
replicates/group which consisted of 5 groups, 100% rice straw (control), 100% bagasse, 100% coir, 1:1 rice straw:bagasse, and 1:1 rice
straw:coir group. The culture was done in 20 days. The results showed that 100%
rice straw group had the highest production of Coprinopsis radiata,
weight 50.05 ± 0.47 g, quantity 43.33
± 1.53 mushrooms, biological efficiency 8.86 ± 0.36%, cap wide 0.96
± 0.04 cm, cap length 1.69 ± 0.03 cm,
stem wide 0.66 ± 0.02 cm, and stem length 1.97
± 0.02 cm. The 1:1 rice straw:bagasse group was
second place of mushroom production, weight 48.11 ± 1.10 g, quantity 41.00
± 1.00 mushrooms, biological efficiency 7.21 ± 0.10%, cap wide 0.91 ± 0.01 cm, cap length 1.53 ± 0.02
cm, stem wide 0.56 ± 0.03 cm, and stem length 1.86 ± 0.03 cm. In conclusion, the rice straw showed the best
production result. The use of 1:1 rice straw:bagasse formula could provide the
mushroom production close to the rice straw alone. This 1:1 rice straw:bagasse
formula would help reduce the shortage of rice straw from rice harvesting of
farmers by using other local materials for culture of Coprinopsis
radiata.
