- The cultivation of mushrooms for food and medicine is increasingly popular across the world, including Africa. However, the production is small relative to the demand because of proper production techniques. Ethno botanic studies reveal the use of Plectranthus glandulosus leaves in fungal control. The objective of this study was, therefore, to assess the ability of P. glandulosus leaf powder to influence mycelia growth of oyster mushroom (P. ostreatus) specie. Malt extract and agar containing P. glandulosus at different concentrations (1, 2 and 5%) were used as growth media while the substrate for spawn production was prepared on maize powder thoroughly mixed with sawdust and rice husk in a ratio of 1:3:3. Results showed that P. ostreatus grows in different media but this growth was reduced when the concentration of P. glandulosus increases. At the highest concentration of P. glandulosus leaf powder (5%), the growth was completely inhibited after 10 days. Comparing the different concentrations of P. glandulosus and the control (agar) there was no significant difference between 1, 2 and 5% concentrations 4 days after inoculation (DAI) while the control had a better growth of 1.88cm. However, from 6 DAI to 10 DAI, there was no significant difference between the control, 2% and 1% concentrations of P. glandulosus. Results also showed that P. glandulosus incorporated as 1% in agar medium, resulted in mycelia producing 21 pinheads and 13 fruiting bodies which are not significantly different from what is produced by the control (20 and 14 respectively).However, at the 2% concentration of P. glandulosus more pinheads (23) and fruiting bodies (16) were formed which are significantly different from all other treatments.
