Accepted for publication: July 24, 2015 ABSTRACT Most basic and applied studies on Ganoderma lucidum have used strains from Southeast Asia. In this work, we studied Mexican genetic resources of G. lucidum from the central region of the country. Strains CP-145 and CP-405 were characterized on nine agricultural by-products in petri dishes. The best mycelial growth and colonization were recorded on bean pod (Phaseolus vulgaris), maize stem (Zea mays), and corn-cob. Several agricultural products, including bean pod, maize stem, and coffee pulp (Coffea arabica) were mixed, supplemented with wheat bran, and used as substrate for the cultivation of G. lucidum. Basidiocarps were harvested after days. The mushroom yield varied from 40.9 to 47.9 g per kg dry substrate weight, showing biological efficiencies ranging from 6.9% to 8.2% for strains CP-145 and CP-405, respectively. Native strains of G. lucidum can be cultivated using local agricultural by-products as substrate. Key words: Agricultural by-products, Ganoderma lucidum, Mexican genetic resources, mushroom cultivation. * Project funded partially by the Research Directorate from the Autonomous University of Guerrero, Mexico, in order to support the Academic Body of Agro-production, UAGRO-CA-139.

3 26 T. Bernabé-González et al. INTRODUCTION The medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst. has long been esteemed for its functional and medicinal properties 10. There is accordingly a growing demand for G. lucidum and its products at the international market. Most strains of G. lucidum studied, so far, come from Southeast Asia. They have been cultivated on a variety of sawdust substrates (beech, Carpinus, oak, poplar) mixed with diverse supplements (bran, sugar cane bagasse, tea residues, straw, coffee by-products) 1,2,3,4,8. In Mexico, there is a great diversity of Ganoderma genetic resources and several species have been identified at the molecular level 6,7. In the present study, we studied two native strains of G. lucidum cultivated on several agricultural by-products. MATERIALS AND METHODS Strains. The strains CP-145 and CP- 405 of G. lucidum were studied, which are deposited at the Genetic Resources Unit of Edible, Functional and Medicinal Mushrooms (CREGENHCFM), College of Postgraduates (CP), Campus Puebla, Mexico 7. Strains were isolated from wood substrates at the central region of Mexico. They were maintained and subcultured on malt extract agar medium (MEA, Bioxon), and incubated at C for 15 days. Mycelial growth on substrates in petri dishes. The following dry substrates were studied: rice straw (Oryza sativa L.), maize stem (Zea mays L.), coconut husk (Cocos nucifera L.), coffee pulp (Coffea arabica L.), peanut shell (Arachis hypogaea L.), bean pod (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), maize ear husk (Zea mays L.), corn-cob (Zea mays L.), and bean stubble (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Each substrate was cut into pieces of ca. 3-5 mm, and its moisture content adjusted to 80-85%. The wet substrate (9 g) was placed in a petri dish (90 x 15 mm), and sterilized at 121 C for 15 min. After cooling, three replicates of each sterilized substrate in petri dishes were inoculated with a MEA agar disc (7 mm diameter) from strains CP-145 and CP-405 of G. lucidum, and incubated at 27±1 C in the dark. Mycelial colony diameter (mm) was measured daily for 10 days, and the macroscopic colony morphology was recorded. Cultivation of G. lucidum on agricultural by-products. After substrate selection in the laboratory, the strains CP-145 and CP-405 of G. lucidum were cultivated in a mushroom growing room. The substrate was prepared as follows (10 kg, dry weight; proportion): 4.4 (44.4%), maize stem; 2.2 (22.2%), bean pod; 2.2 (22.2%), coffee pulp; 1.1 (11.1%), wheat bran; 0.031, calcium hydroxide [Ca (OH) 2 ]; and 0.084, calcium sulfate (CaSO 4 ). The substrate was well mixed, adjusted to 69% moisture content, placed into polypropylene bags (40 x 60 cm; 2 kg wet substrate per bag) with cotton and gauze stoppers at the top for allowing gas exchange, and sterilized at 121 C for 1.5 h. The preparation of spawn was carried out as follows: 200 g of sorghum kernels (60% moisture content) were placed into polypropylene bags, sterilized at 121 C for 1 h, cooled, inoculated with a MEA agar disc (7 mm diameter) from strains CP-145 and CP-405 of G. lucidum, and incubated at 27±1 C in the dark until completely colonized by the mushroom mycelium. Sterilized substrate bags previously prepared were spawned with uniform mixing under aseptic conditions at a rate of ca. 200 g inoculum from each strain studied. Five replicate bags were done for each strain. Inoculated bags were placed
4 Ganoderma lucidum cultivated in Mexico 27 on shelves for incubation in the mushroom growing room. The roof had two rows of transparent plastic sheets, which allowed indirect daylight (about 12 h) during the cultivation cycle. After one month, the top of each bag was removed to promote fruiting, keeping about 70% relative humidity and a suitable temperature range ( C) in the growing room. Basidiocarps were harvested when mature. The biological efficiency (BE) was determined dividing the fresh mushroom yield (fresh weight) by the dry weight of substrate at spawning, and expressed as a percentage 9. Statistical analysis. All experiments followed a completely randomized design. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, and average values were compared using the multiple range test of Tukey (α = 0.05). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Mycelial growth on substrates in petri dishes. Colony morphology after ten days of mycelial growth of Ganoderma lucidum on diverse agricultural by-products is shown in Table 1 and Fig. 1. Faster growth rate of Table 1.

C: Strain CP-405 growing on peanut shell. D: Strain CP-145 growing on coffee pulp. strain CP-145 was recorded on peanut shell and maize stem, followed by corn-cob and bean pod. All showed mycelial colonies of high density and cottony texture. In a similar manner, strain CP-405 grew faster on bean pod, followed by peanut shell and maize stem, showing high-density and cottony mycelial colonies. The strain CP-145 grew slowly on coffee pulp, rice straw and bean stubble. Slow growth by the strain CP-405
6 Ganoderma lucidum cultivated in Mexico 29 was recorded on maize ear husk, rice straw, and bean stubble. Although growth rate of strains studied on coffee pulp was slow, their mycelial density and vigour was high confirming that such substrate is suitable for mushroom cultivation 5. Cultivation of G. lucidum on agricultural by-products. The substrate was colonized by the mushroom mycelium in 10 days. Mushroom primordia appeared after days, depending on the strain. Mature basidiocarps of strain CP-145 were harvested after 70 days, showing a mushroom yield of 40.9 g and a BE of 6.9%. A mushroom yield of 47.9 g and a BE of 8.2% were recorded for strain CP-405, 72 days after spawning (Table 2). Basidiocarps of each strain studied are shown in Fig. 2. They developed normal morphology, and their pileus length and width were x mm for strain CP-145, while x mm for strain CP-405. These results showed that native genetic resources of G. lucidum can be cultivated using diverse substrates available locally.
