Sir, While recording these photographs i cut this mushroom into two halves and i didn't notice any gelatinous substance as suggested by Bill Ji. But, i might have missed that very point since i didn't know that there might be some look alike from other genera as well.
Now, as i receive id suggestion from Kavi Ji it appears to me that it is closer to *Pleurotus flabellatus* than *P. sajor-caju*. I found info on both the two suggested taxa, and an article informs *P. flabellatus* can be cultivated on various substrate - http://itismypen.blogspot.in/2012/11/conversion-of-lignocellulosic-biomass.html . Thank you very much. Many many thanks to Kavi Ji. Regards, surajit On Sat, Aug 24, 2013 at 11:39 AM, J.M. Garg <[email protected]> wrote: > A reply: > "Thank you for the mail.
