Abstract
Different local strains of Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) were evaluated using different cellulosic agro-wastes including cotton waste, paddy straw and wheat straw for mycelial growth, spawn run and production efficiency. Maximum production efficiency of P. Sajurcaju was observed (195.9%) on wheat straw while minimum production efficiency was recorded (132.1%) on paddy straw followed by cotton waste where the production efficiency was 107.9%. P. ostreatus (white strain) showed maximum production efficiency (113.7%) on wheat straw and minimum (88.8%) on cotton waste while the production efficiency of P. ostreatus (gray strain) was almost same on cotton waste and wheat straw but greater than paddy straw (128.3%). The Overall performance of P. ostreatus (gray strain) remained best during its cultivation trials.
