Abstract
This paper highlights the rescue and optimal cultural conditions of the naturallyoccurring Trametes elegans. This mushroom has white fan-like leathery fruiting body
that commonly grows singly on deadwood. The secondary mycelial culture has offwhite, velvety texture, and aerial hyphae. Rice bran broth agar with pH ranging from
5.5 to 6.5, incubated in either lighted or dark, at 30°C, and sealed conditions were the
optimum nutritional and physical factors for growth. Both cracked corn and sorghum
seeds registered as the best substrates for grain spawn production. Four parts of sawdust
+ six parts of rice straw significantly produced the highest yield (12.03 g) and biological
efficiency (2.41%). Enriched cultivation study using supplemented substrates is
currently under investigation with the aim to increase the production.
