Abstract

Mushroom cultivation is a very useful business to produce protein-enriched food by decomposing lignin-containing substances. To investigate the effectiveness of saw dusts of hardwood trees (Sheesham and Siris) along with supplement (corn flour) research was carried out in the mushroom house, Department of Plant Pathology, UAF. The local strain of O. mushroom (Pleurotus djamor) was studied for evaluation of mycelia growth, formation of pinhead, formation of fruiting bodies, quantity of fruiting bodies, yield production from 1st, 2nd and 3rd flushes, total yield and biological efficiency. RCBD design was used in this experiment. The results show that treatment four has the fastest mycelium growth, the first pinhead formation, the fastest pinhead formation, and the highest yield (yield per unit area). But, as was already said, putting too much of the supplement on the substrate can make it dirty and lower the yield. It is very important to be very careful to get the best crop yield. In the end, the study gives us a way to start growing P. djamor on sawdust-based substrates. This could be used to raise the market value of this healing and highly nutritious mushroom.
