Results are mean ± SEM (n = 10). Values with different superscript in a same row for each substrate are significantly different at P ⩽ 0.05 (a, b, c for SD and p, q, r for RS).
⁎
Notification indicates significant difference (P ⩽ 0.05) between parameters of a single strain cultivated on different substrate. MRR – mycelium run rate (cm/day); NPI – number of primordial initiation, DFPI – days to first primordia initiation; DFH – days required to first harvest, NFB – number of fruiting bodies.
