Mycelial colonies were off-white, showing high density, velvety texture, and abundant aerial hyphae. Substrates studied had good mycelial growth and colonization. Higher mushroom yield of 173.8 g was recorded on supplemented oak sawdust, reaching a biological efficiency of 20.3%. Leathery, dark brown fruit bodies were obtained having normal morphology. A lower biological efficiency of 3.2% was reached on not supplemented oak sawdust. %U http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=68519085003
