Abstract

Mushroom culture is an important micro-industrial source of protein in developing countries such as Guyana.  This study investigated the growth and mineral composition of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) using rice straw, grass clippings [Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon)] and sawdust as substrate materials. Growth was only successful in the treatment that contained rice straw as substrate, whereas no growth was obtained from substrates that contain grass clippings and sawdust. N, P, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mn and Mg were present in the oyster mushroom samples and the spent mushroom substrates.
