Utilization of Lignocellulosic Substrates on Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) Cultivation

Background: Mushroom cultivation increased throughout the world with utilization of crop residues. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) is suitable for most area and less expensive availability paddy straw. Increasing demand straw compels to search alternate source substrate production. Based on this information efforts were taken compare many locally available leaf substrates Pleurotus citrinopileatus Methods: Leaf viz., teak, bamboo, maize, banana, coconut, mango, sugarcane bagasse grass (Dactyloctenium aegyptium) tested P. citrinopileatus. Grain paddy, cumbu, bengal gram, green sorghum, black ragi above studied their effect radial mycelial growth dry weight Result: All par each other growth. Highest 724.67 mg was recorded in Among different used bed preparation, banana showed highest yield 115.00 g than Weight spent observe which bamboo decomposed at maximum. Addition grain enhanced mycelium.
