Effect of Different Kinds of Substrates on the Growth and Yield Performance of Pleurotus sapidus (Oyster Mushroom)

Cultivation of edible fungi (mushrooms) is a useful method for bio-conservation in the agriculture industry. For better production mushrooms, we used agricultural waste material as substrate cultivation mushrooms. After mushroom harvesting, these substrates are available an excellent source soil conditioner. In this study, sawdust simbal tree (Bombax ceiba L.), office scrap paper, and poultry manure to cultivate Pleurotus sapidus (oyster mushroom). Data recorded from inoculation spawn harvesting fruiting bodies by using different parameters. The results revealed that Treatment-T4 (sawdust 50% + 50%) required least number days (16 days) 100% spawn-running, development pinhead (6.5 days), (5.5 produced maximum (24.25), yield (388.40 g), highest biological efficacy (77.68%). Treatment-T5 (office paper took (32 (18 (17 (9.5), minimum (224.50 lowest (44.90%). Therefore, oyster mushrooms or environment-friendly technique because economical readily available.
