Maize Residue as a Viable Substrate for Farm Scale Cultivation of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)

Figure 1

The effect of substrate material on fruiting body sprouts (flushes) over time. (1) Bars with the same Arabic numerals during a harvesting period are not significantly different . (2) 50 g of mushroom spawn was mixed with 1 kg substrate and incubated at 26–28°C for about 20–34 days. (3) The mushroom flushes were recorded over six weeks.
