ABSTRACT


In this study, the effect of supplementing rice straw substrate with palm kernel chaff on the yield of the mushroom Pleurotus Ostreatus florida has been investigated. The greatest weight and number of fruit bodies were obtained from 15% supplementation. Supplemented substrate, that is 0% supplementation, which forms the control, gave the next greatest yield in tennis of weight. But in terms of number of fruit bodies, 10% supplementation was the second in yield. The supplemented substrate produced better mushrooms. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to earlier works in 4 this regard.
