Evaluation of Yield and Nutritional Composition of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Grown on Different Substrates

Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study examined the yield and nutritional composition of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) grown on different substrates. The experiment consists of six treatments viz: Sawdust, Coconut-husk, Maize-cob, Maize-cob + Sawdust, Coconut-husk + Maize-cob and Sawdust + Coconut-husk. Each substrate was moistened and left over-night. Thereafter, 1 % CaCO3 and 5 % wheat bran were added into 600g of each substrate. The substrates were divided into three of 200g each. The replicates were put inside polythene bags of size 15 x 35 and steam sterilized at 121 ⁰C for 20 minutes in an autoclave. Sterilized substrates were inoculated with pleurotus spawn and then air-tight sealed. The substrates were kept in the dark room at 25 ⁰C to ramify. The ramified substrates were kept moist for mushroom to sprout. The result revealed that mushroom produce on sawdust substrate gave the highest yield on fresh weight basis (16.67 ±1.20g). While sawdust + coconut-husk performed best in terms of nutritional composition with 14.00 % ash, 2.63 % protein, 42.87 % carbohydrates, 2.70 % calcium, 1650 % phosphorus and 0.42 % nitrogen. The study recommends sawdust for commercial production of oyster mushroom and sawdust + coconut-husk for optimum nutritional benefits.

Key words: Keywords: Pleurotus ostreatus, Yield, Nutritional composition, Substrates, Ekiti State.
