Description
Summary:To develop and utilize the wild fungi resources in Tibet, a wild fungal specimen collected from Qiangna Town, Milin County, Tibet was isolated, purified, and characterized. Through morphological examination and ITS sequence analysis, the strain—designated as X21266—was identified as <i>Tyromyces kmetii</i>. The effects of different carbon sources, nitrogen sources, pH, and temperature on the mycelial growth of <i>T. kmetii</i> under solid-state culture conditions were investigated. In addition, research on domestication cultivation was conducted. The results showed that the optimal carbon source for <i>T. kmetii</i> was fructose, the preferred nitrogen source was beef powder, and the optimal pH and temperature were pH 5.0 and 25 °C, respectively. Domestication cultivation results showed a mycelial initiation time of 34 days; primordia formation occurred after 17 days in an environment with appropriate light and low-temperature stimulation; and during the fruiting stage, a temperature of 25–28 °C and humidity above 90% were maintained, with mature fructification forming after 16 days. This study provides fundamental experimental data for the subsequent development and utilization of <i>T. kmetii</i>.
