Abstract
Impact of different lignocellulose substrates on growth and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)
Highlights
Mushrooms are increasingly becoming an important component of diets worldwide and it is of paramount importance to choose appropriate substrates in a given place to grow them
The chemical composition of the fresh fruiting bodies of oyster mushroom indicates a large quantity of moisture (90.8%), whereas fresh as well as dry oyster mushrooms are rich in proteins (30.4%), fat (2.2%), carbohydrates (57.6%), fiber (8.7%) and ash (9.8%) with 345 Kcal energy value on 100 g dry weight basis
Our results were in accordance with the findings of Shah et al [11] and Ahmad [24] who reported that the appearance of pinheads of Pleurotus ostreatus was take a minimum number of days in wheat straw substrates
Summary
Mushrooms are increasingly becoming an important component of diets worldwide and it is of paramount importance to choose appropriate substrates in a given place to grow them. Chir and sawdust of Kail and their combinations) were arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The data was recorded on days to completion of spawn running, days for appearance of pinheads, number of pinheads, no. Of fruiting bodies, days to maturation, mushroom yield (g), biological efficiency (%) and protein content (%).
