Estimation of protein and phenol biochemical from sporocarps of Flammulina velutips (Curt. Fr.) Sing.

Protein and Phenol were estimated from two strains (FV-1 and FV-2) of Flammulina velutips. The data revealed that the maximum protein content (27% and 25%) estimated in the fruit bodies of FV-1 and FV-2, respectively, harvested from wheat straw + 10% wheat bran. However, the minimum protein content was estimated from the fruit bodies harvested from saw dust + 10% wheat bran and maize straw + 10% wheat bran in case of FV-1 and FV-2, respectively. While maximum phenol content (0.5%) recorded in FV-1 fruit bodies harvested from wheat straw + 5% wheat bran followed by saw dust + 5% wheat bran. However, in case of FV-2 the maximum phenol content (0.5%) was found in the fruit bodies harvested from maize straw+ 10% rice bran followed by wheat straw + 5% wheat bran.
