Abstract

Pleurotus floridanus Singer was cultivated on wheat straw, paddy straw in pure form and supplement of wheat bran (15%) and lime (4%) to investigate their influence on mycelial growth, primordia appearance their maturity, flush wise yield, total yield and biological efficiency. A best mycelial growth (27.00±1.06 days), first primordia appearance (32.25±1.16 days) their maturity (34.00±0.92 days), maximum yield in each flush, total yield (1054.0 ±34.49g) and highest percent of biological efficiency (105.4%) was recorded on paddy straw + wheat bran 15%. Among all the used combination the slowest mycelial growth (32.00 ±1.30 days), most delay pinhead appearance (43.37 ±0.74 days) their maturity (48.00±1.06 days), minimum yield in each flush, total yield (633.00±22.53g) and lowest percent of B.E (63.37%) was recorded on wheat straw + wheat bran 15% + lime 4%. This study provide a solely information about cultivation and using of best substrate for mushroom cultivation and obtaining effective yield.
