Abstract: An attempt was made to investigate the possible Sulphur source in Termite-Termitomyces mutualistic system using SEM-EDX and ICP-AES and assess its role for production of healthy Termitomyces holomorph. Our study successfully indicated the Termitomyces substratum called fungus comb is the rich source of Sulphur for production of Sulphur rich mushroom fruitbodies.
Keywords: Termitomyces, Sulphur, SEM-EDX, ICP-AES, holomorph, teleomorph.
