Table 2 Incubation time (in days) for tissue culture germplasm isolation and spawn production i.e. from the tissue culture day to full colonization of the PDA culture medium for germplasm isolation and from the inoculation day to full colonization of the sorghum grains in mayonnaise bottles by the mycelium of the studied species

From: Successful domestication of Neonothopanus Hygrophanus (Mont.) De Kesel & Degreef and Lentinus Squarrosulus Mont., indigenous saprophytic edible mushrooms from Kibira National Park in Burundi
