Abstract: The levels of 10μl, 30μl and 50μl concentration of plant oils of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), melon (Cucumis melo L.), parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Miller) A.W. Hill), pine stone (Pinus pinea L.), plum (Prunus domestica L.) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb) Matsum et Nakai) which was grown in Turkey were used for mycelial growth of Agaricus bisporus on the agar medium. After nine days of incubation, the 10μl and 30μl concentrations of apricot oil were activated to varying degrees in stimulative the mycelial growth compared with the control group. In addition, all concentrations of parsley completely showed inhibitory effect against mycelial growth. This study suggests that the data can be used as natural stimulating agents on the mycelial growth of mushroom of apricot and plum kernel oils.
