Implication

Randomized trial investigates oyster mushroom yield using rice straw as substrate, indicating superior growth potential.

Key Points

The aim is to cultivate oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus florida) using cultivated spawn and rice straw substrate.
Cultivated spawn was nurtured on rice straw substrate in layers.
Spawn was placed on the edges of cultivation bags, which were then hung.
Growth and yield were monitored over a period of 28 days.
Spawn developed in flow bags within 10-14 days.
Pinheads appeared on days 19-20, and the first yield occurred at days 26-28.
Spawn from wheat showed greater potential than other spawns used.
