Abstract
Part IB of this review discusses growth abnormalities and diseases of the fruit bodies, as well as containments in the substrates that affect the quality and yield of the fruit bodies. The means and methods to overcome these problems during culturing of Pleurotus on commercial scales are described. In vitro growth requirements and prospects of producing mycelium on organic wastes in liquid culture are discussed. The effects of changes in the nutrients of growth substrate on the yield and quality of fruit bodies in vivo are brought out. Status of culturing Pleurotus in different parts of the world is evaluated. Finally, a critical consideration of the scope and problems of Pleurotus cultivation technology is given.Keywords
