Abstract

Effect of different substrate preparation methods, type and rate of supplementation, casing soil and cultural practices for Calocybe indica were investigated. Chemical treatment of wheat straw using carbendazim (35ppm) + formaldehyde (1000ppm) gave the highest yield followed by hot water treatment. Substrate supplementation with 6% pulse mixture gave maximum production followed by gram husk (4%). Casing mixture consisting of FYM +RBH+Coir Pith (1:1:1) was found to be the best followed by burnt rice husk + farm yard manure (1:1).
