Abstract:
The research about The Growth and Productivity of Gray Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fries) Singer) in The Limau Manis of Area Padang City was conducted from February to July 2021 at the Laboratory of Microbiology, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Andalas University. The research was aimed to observe the growth of gray oyster mushrooms mycelium on corn and bag log media, to determine the productivity value of gray oyster mushrooms on bag log media. The research was conducted by survey methods and analyzed descriptively using images, tables, and graphs. The results showed that the average growth of gray oyster mushroom mycelium on corn media was 0.83 cm/day and 1.02 cm/day on bag log media. The highest productivity of gray oyster mushrooms reached 48.59% with the highest total body weight of 388.73 g. The highest number of fruiting body cap is 43 pieces. While the weight of the heaviest fruiting body cap reached 30.6 g with the largest cap diameter was 17.5 cm.
