Several factors affect the vegetative growth of fungi, such as temperature, pH, and culture medium. In addition to mycelial growth, these factors affect metabolite production. There are limited studies that have identified the metabolites produced by the fungus Bjerkandera adusta, which have potential biotechnological applications. Here, we evaluated the effects of temperature, culture medium, and incubation time on the production of mycelial mass and metabolites of B. adusta isolated from Pinus taeda. The highest mycelial mass was obtained at 24 °C, in the potato dextrose and malt extract media, upon incubation for 28 and 35 days. The disaccharide α-α-trehalose was for the first time isolated and identified by X-ray diffraction in this fungal genus.
