Abstract

Sporophores of some species of the genus Volvaria, occurring in nature in the tropical regions, are known to be edible. At least three of its species, V. volvacea, (Bull.) Quelet, V. esculenta Massee and V. diplasia Berk & Br., are reported to be artificially cultivated in some countries of Asia (2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14). All the three species grow well on rice straw and are popularly known as 'Paddy straw mushroom. Another closely related species, V. bresadolae Trotter, has been reported to grow on decaying pine apple fruits in Palau Island (U. S. A. Trust), Pacific Ocean (6).
