Abstract

The cultivation of edible mushroom on agricultural and industrial waste can be considered as one of the most effective solutions. The use of waste as a substrate for mushroom not only increases its nutritional value and contributes to food security in the community, but also reduces environmental pollution. In this study, Sweet fruit pleurotus Floridain Florida was cultivated on two types of agricultural waste (rice straw and wheat straw) and then the amount of yield, fat, ash, sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc and iron was evaluated. Statistical studies indicated that cultivation mushroom on the wheat straw was more suitable for fruiting and nutritional value.
