Abstract:
The performance of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus florida on various substrates was evaluated, as well as the best substrates for mushroom cultivation. Six different substrates, viz., banana leaves, sugarcane bagasse, teak leaves, bamboo leaves, coconut husk fibre, and paddy straw, were used for oyster mushroom production. The banana leaves (438.95 g) produced a significantly higher yield next to paddy straw (455.54g).
