Abstract

A research of introduction and cultivation of two edible mushroom; shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was conducted on three different substrates namely waste paper, leaves of Prosopis juliflora and sugarcane bagasse during 2017/18 at Chiro, Oda Bultum University to determine the effective substrate/substrate combination for cultivation of shiitake mushroom and oyster mushroom and to identify mushroom species that provides high biological efficiency. Thirteen different combinations of three substrates were used for cultivation of both mushrooms. The substrate combination were substrate one (75%SCB + 25%WP), substrate two (50%SCB + 50%WP), substrate three (25% SCB+75%WP), substrate four (75%SCB + 25%LPJ), substrate five (50%SCB + 50%LPJ), substrate six (25%SCB + 75%LPJ), substrate seven (75% WP + 25%LPJ), substrate eight (50%WP + 50%LPJ), substrate nine (25%WP + 75%LPJ), substrate ten (100% SCB), substrate eleven (100%LPJ), substrate twelve (100%WP) and substrate thirteen (33% SCB+33%WP+ 33%LPJ) replicated three times for both mushrooms. Among two varieties of edible mushroom cultivated, shiitake mushroom was not germinated, not harvested and no analysis of variance was conducted while oyster mushroom was success fully colonized the substrate, germinated, grown and harvested except for substrate six (S6), substrate nine(S9) and substrate eleven (S11) due to presence of high proportions of leaves of Prosopis juliflora. Presence of high proportions of leaves of Prosopis juliflora was affected colonization, germination and growth of oyster mushroom in comparison with the remaining other ten different substrates. On these ten substrates oyster mushroom was success fully grown, harvested and analyzed. Based on their analysis substrate thirteen, substrate four, substrate seven and substrate three were highly significant for fresh weight, dry weight and for biological efficiency. Hence they were the best substrate combination for good harvest of oyster mushroom under the study area.

There was no colonization of mycelia, no germination, no growth of mushroom, no harvesting of mushroom and no analysis of variance was conducted for Lentinus edodes
The lowest biological efficiency was observed from substrate eight (26.7%) and substrate five (25.4%) due to presence of high proportion of leaves of Prosopis juliflora in these substrate as high proportion of leaves of Prosopis juliflora affect the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus

Mushrooms are fruiting bodies of fungi especially of ascomycetes or basidiomycetes and a macro fungus with a distinctive fruiting body, large enough to be seen with naked eye and to be picked up by hand [3] Mushroom with their flavor, texture, nutritional value and high productivity per unit area have been identified as an excellent food source to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries [8]. The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus) species are grown under natural conditions on living trees as parasites or dead woody branches of trees as saprophytes and primary decomposers, the oyster mushrooms can be cultivated successfully under semi-controlled conditions in small scale by using agricultural as well as industrial wastes and other refuse as substrate [23]
