Abstract
Different casing materials consisted of  FYM + Soil(1:1v/v) , Spent compost + 8% calcium chloride, F YM + Spent compost + Soil (2:1:1), Coir pith + FYM+ soil (l:1:1), Coir pith + Soil (1:1), Spawned casing, Burnt rice husk (20%) +FYM (40%) +Soil (40%) and Vermicompost casing. Maximum sporophore (1695.67) per 100 Kg compost were obtained by spawned casing followed by control treatment having casing mixture of FYM + soil (1:1 v/v) i.e. 1573.33 sporophores.
