Morphology and yield performance of edible mushrooms on different substrates

Edible mushrooms were studied for morphology and yield performance.Oyster mushroom,milky mushroom and paddy straw mushroom were studied for spawn run ,pin head formation and fruiting bodies.Sugarcane bagasse,coconut coir, mixture of sorghum and maize stalk, saw dust were used as substrate.Highest yield observed on mixture of sorghum and maize stalk for P.sajor-caju (800.16g) followed by P.ostreatus (675.14g). C.indica has good yield on paddy straw (500g). V.volvacea has good yield on (550.18 g).These mushrooms can be further explored for medicinal properties.
