 This study determined the optimal pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources for the growth of macrolipiotoprochera, parasol mushroom, mycelium, with glucose as the best carbon source and yeast extract and peptone as the best nitrogen sources. The optimum pH for growth was found to be 6.0, while the best temperature for growth was 25 degrees Celsius. These findings will contribute to future studies on commercial cultivation of emprochera in Turkey. This article was authored by Isim Peksen and Bayhan Kebar.
