ABSTRACT

Paddy Straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea (Bull.) Singer) is a compost mushroom that is widely used by the community, one of which is used as food ingredients and medicinal ingredients. Paddy Straw mushroom cultivation is very difficult to find in the Sumatran region, one of the contributing factors is that it is difficult to get the seeds used for cultivation of Paddy Straw mushroom. The seeds used for cultivation are parent seeds (F0). The parent seed media usually uses corn kernels. Corn seeds have a lot of ingredients needed to spur the growth of mycelium Paddy Straw mushroom. The content contained in corn seed media in the form of carbohydrates, starch, protein, minerals and vitamins that are used as nutrients for the growth of mycelium Paddy Straw mushroom. The purpose of this study is to determine the growth response of the Paddy Straw mushroom mycelium in the parent seed media with natural formulations. This study uses the experimental method and the data are analyzed descriptively. Based on the results obtained on the growth response of mushroom mycelium in the parent seed media (F1) using several natural formulations obtained the highest growth of Paddy Straw mushroom mycelium, namely by adding natural formulations of bean sprouts boiled water with a dense and thick white mycelium.
