Abstract:

Species of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm) was cultivated on waste materials of textile industry (cotton waste) and sugarcane industry (sugarcane mud, bagasse and trash). Cotton waste and different combination of sugarcane waste materials were soaked in water and then filled in polypropylene bags; pasteurization process was conducted in ordinary drum and 100 °C for 1 h. Mushroom bags were taken to growth room of Mushroom Laboratory and maintained at appropriate temperature for mycelial growth and fructification of oyster mushroom. To complete mycelial growth T0 (cotton waste (100%)) took minimum number of days whereas T1 (cotton waste + sugarcane mud (1:1)) took maximum days. The treatments in which mycelial growth was completed were T0 producing best yield (113.9 gm) followed by T4 (cotton waste + sugarcane bagasse (2:1)), T3 (cotton waste + sugarcane bagasse (1:1)), T6 (cotton Waste + sugarcane trash (2:1)), T5 (cotton waste + sugarcane trash (1:1)) and T2 (cotton waste + sugarcane mud (2:1)) respectively.
