Implication

This study demonstrates the potential of grain-based media to improve mycelial growth in oyster mushrooms, suggesting sustainable alternatives to commercial agar.

Key Points

Millet and hyacinth bean showed superior mycelial growth, fully colonizing by day 9 compared to 15 days with PDA.
Grain concentrations of 50–70 g/L consistently promoted faster growth rates, achieving up to 7.89 mm/day.
This factorial experiment tested six grains, illustrating effective alternatives to expensive growth media.
Findings support using grain-based media to enhance food security and agricultural practices in resource-limited regions.
