OBSERVATIONS ON FUNGAL GROWTH
Powdered kenaf was inoculated with different fungi species in conical flasks and left for four weeks at room temperature. The four fungi species tested were Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PC), Rigidoporus vinctus (RV), Oxyporus latemarginatus (OL) and Coriolus versicolor (CV). The progress of fungi were observed and recorded each week using a simple scoring system created from 0 (hypha not visible) to 6 (thick, full and even mycelium on whole medium). Hyphal growth on kenaf medium varied among the species (Figure 1). At week 1, OL showed visible formation of mycelium on the
