Abstract
Volvariella volvacea (Bull.: Fr.) Singer (Plutaceae), commonly known as the paddy straw mushroom, is widely cultivated in the Philippines, where banana leaves are traditionally used as a substrate. However, standardized protocols for their efficient utilization remain limited. In this study, six isolates of V. volvacea were evaluated, comprising three commercial isolates from San Jose, Nueva Ecija (SJ), Tarlac City (TC), and La Union (LU), and three wild isolates collected from Brgy. Rang-ayan, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija (VVA), Central Luzon State University (VVB), and San Mateo, Rizal (SP). Supplementation of rice bran to banana leaf substrates significantly enhanced fruiting performance in isolates SJ, TC, LU, and SP, yielding biological efficiencies of 9.17%, 17.04%, 7.65%, and 10.98%, respectively. In contrast, coconut water supplementation was more effective for isolates VVA and VVB, with biological efficiencies of 9.22% and 9.61%, respectively, under uniform cultivation conditions. Proximate analysis of the harvested fruiting bodies revealed appreciable amount of carbohydrate (43.8-49.1%), crude protein (23.8-29.7%), crude fiber (10.4-19.7%), ash (12.2-14.2%) and very low crude fat (0.4-0.7%). Phytochemical screening further showed the presence of flavonoids and alkaloids exclusively in isolates SJ and TC. These confirm that both production performance and biochemical composition in V. volvacea are strongly isolate-dependent, highlighting the importance of strain selection and substrate optimization in improving cultivation efficiency and functional properties.
