Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at the Tissue Culture Laboratory and Culture
House of Mushroom Development Institute, Savar, Dhaka, during the period
from January 2014 to June 2014. The experiment consisted of two varieties,
viz. V
1
(Pleurotus ostreatus) and V
(Pleurotus djamor) and nine different
Substrates ratio S

(25% straw + 10% paddy grain (mother culture) + 65%
sawdust), S
( 35% straw + 10% paddy grain (mother culture) + 55% Sawdust),

( 45% Straw + 10% paddy grain ( mother culture) + 45% Sawdust), S
(55%

10% paddy grain (mother culture) + 25% Sawdust), S

75% Straw + 10%
paddy grain (mother culture) + 15% Sawdust), S
( 85% Straw + 10% paddy
grain (mother culture) + 5% Sawdust), S

7
(90% Straw + 10% paddy grain
(mother culture)), S
(90% Sawdust + 10% paddy grain (mother culture)). The
experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with three
replications. The maximum yield (66.50 g), the highest number of fruiting
body (16.53), number of effective fruiting body (12.11) were observed in V
9
Significant variation was found in all parameter due to the effect of substrates
ratio. The highest number of fruiting body (15.25), number of effective fruting
body (12.11) and highest yield (63.25) were recorded in S
The combination
between different variety and different substrates ratio was found significant
variation on the yield. The maximum yield (90.00 g) was produced by V
3.
and
the minimum yield (21.00 g) was produced by V
