M. Z. ISLAM, M. H. RAHMAN AND F. HAFIZ

The study was conducted at the laboratory of Food Microbiology, Institute of Food Science and Technology, BCSIR, Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1205 during July 2000 to May 2001 to find suitable sawdust as substrate for growing Mushroom. Seven different type of substrates viz. Mango, Jackfruit, Coconut, Jam, Kadom, Mahogony, Shiris sawdust with wheat bran and CaCO3 were evaluated to find their growth and yield of Mushroom. The maximum biological yield per packet was obtained with Mango sawdust (150 gm) followed by Mahogony (148 gm), Shiris (146 gm), Kadom (136 gm), Jam (114 gm), Jackfruit (97 gm) and Coconut sawdust (83 gm). The lowest yield was observed in Coconut sawdust (83 gm). However, highest return was obtained with Mango sawdust (Tk 24.86) while the lowest with Jackfruit sawdust (Tk11.68). Cost benefit analysis revealed that the Mango sawdust and Shiris sawdust were promising substrates for the growing of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus flabellatus). Download
