Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) has a prolonged life span as well as numerous therapeutic and nutritional benefits. A high yield and nutritional content are produced when edible mushrooms are grown on agricultural and lignocellulosic organic wastes, such as cotton waste, wheat straw and rice husk. In this study we worked on the efficacy of the substrate to get the maximum yield as well as to calculate the minimum yield of oyster mushroom obtained by these substratesand the mushroom production gap. Four replications of a factorial experiment with a fully randomised design were carried out.On wheat straw substrate the maximum mushroom yield were obtained. After that cotton waste substrate and rice husk substrategave the good yield respectively. A bag containing 2 kg of wheat straw gave a maximum yield of 55% of a total bag weightwhich is about 1kg and 100 g and a minimum of 45% which is about 900 g. On the other hand rice husk and cotton waste gave a maximum yield of 45% which is 900 g and a minimum yield of 30% which is about 300 g to the total weight of bag that is 2 kg. Substrate of wheat straw has a considerable impact on P. ostreatus quality and yield. Secondly the substrate that gave the good yield is cotton waste and rice husk. Bags of wheat straw gave three harvesting after the intervals of 10 days while the bags having cotton waste and rice husk gave 2 harvesting after 10 to 25 days.
