The Effect of Light Upon Basidiocarp Initiation in Psilocybe Cubensis

Pages 136-142 | Accepted 13 Jul 1979, Published online: 12 Sep 2018
 

SUMMARY

Formation of basidiocarp initials in Psilocybe cubensis occurred only when cultures were illuminated. Short durations of light (0.0025 sec of xenon-arc flash) were sufficient for initiation. Light-induced initiation was saturated at a dose of 0.345 × 104 ergs/cm2 at 460 nm. UV and blue wavelengths of 370, 440, and 460 nm were the most effective. Green and red wavelengths greater than 510 nm were ineffective.
