摘要：The experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth and performance of oyster Mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ) on the different substrates. The substrates used in the study were T₁ (100% C.W), T₂ (50% C.W + 50% Banana leaves), T₃ (75% C.W + 25% Banana leaves), T₄ (50% C.W + 50% Maize leaves) and T₅ (75% C.W + 25% Maize leaves). The numbers of days to complete the mycelium growth and days to reach harvesting stage were decreased in treatments T₁ and T₅ when compared to others treatments followed by T₂. The numbers of matured mushrooms were greater in T₁, T₂ and T₅. Total yield was significantly higher in T₁ (125 g), T₂ (121 g) and T₅ (119.8 g) respectively. The maximum dry weight was produced by T₁ (27.2 g) and T₂ (25.0 g) respectively over others treatments. The nitrogen contents after harvesting of mushrooms were also affected. These results investigated that 100% cotton waste and 50% cotton waste + 50% Banana leaves are suitable for the cultivation of mushrooms as compared to other growing media.
