were supplemented with 2% 15:15:15 N: P: K fertilizer and 3% rice bran to increase the
nutritional composition of the substrates . In addition, 1% CaCO was added to minimize
3
bacteria contamination. The ramification rate and yield performance of the substrates were
evaluated differently . Palm fr uit husk was the best performing substrate with the highest total
yield harvest (190.0g), biological efficiency (63.3%) and production rate (6.33%); banana
leaves gave the lowest harvest yield (56.6g), biological efficiency (18.9%) and production rate
(1.58%). Also, white maize was observed to have the greatest suitability for spawn production
out of the five grains evaluated. Utilization of agro-waste as substrate will be of great
importance in commercial cultivation of mushroom and bioconversion of agro-wastes .
