ABSTRACT
As a nutritious and delicious food Mushroom is becoming popular among the people during these days. Mushroom which is a fleshy saprophyte fungus are found growing on damp rotten log of wood trunk of trees, agricultural waste material, decaying organic matter and in damp soil rich in organic substrates. The experiment was conducted with the aim to evaluate the most effect organic supplement for enhance the yield (gm. /kg dry straw) and minimum days for spawn run (DFSR), minimum days for first harvesting (DFFH), number of lobe per beg (NOL), number of fruiting body per beg (NOFB) and maximum average weight of fruiting body (g/FB) of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor). In the present study five locally available differentorganic supplements viz. Soybean, Chickpea gram, Black gram, Pigeon pea and Lentil flour were mixed in wheat straw. The results obtained during the present investigation, maximum yield (593.33g/Kg of dry substrate with 59.33% B.E.), highest number of fruiting bodies (34.33), minimum days for first harvesting (18.67 days) and minimum days for spawn run (16 days) was observed in Pigeon pea flour, while highest number of lob (75.00) was observed in lentil flour and maximum average weight of fruiting body (30.00) was observed in Chickpea flour. Based on the results obtained, for production of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus djamor), Pigeon pea flour would be recommended as most appropriate organic supplements for Wheat straw.
