ABSTRACT
This research work investigated the yield,
nutritional and chemical composition of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom grown on
Adropogon gayanus straw boosted with Cassava, (Manihot esculenta, cranz), Yam
(Discorea esculenta) and Sweet Potato (/pomoea batatas) peels. Spawn of
Pleurotus ostreatus used for the work was obtained from FIIRO Oshodi Lagos
State. Nigeria. The substrates used for this study were Andropogon gayanus
straw, Potato peels, Yam peels and Cassava peels. The result of the yield
showed the stipe length, Pileus length and fresh weight, the cassava and potato
peels supplementation substrates had a strong yield product in terms of fresh
weight compared to single substrate of Andropogon straw, for the first and
second flush. The highest fresh weight for flush one was 100.67 ± 1.16cm
(Potato peels and Andropogon straw) and flush two 51.67 ± 12.86cm also for the same
substrate. Treatment effect was significant P < 0.05 for the pileus length
of the second flush. Biological efficiency of the mushroom culture showed that
potato and Cassava supplemented substrates had the highest at 232.0%, 207.0%
and 96.0% and 97.5% for first and second flushes respectively. There was a
substantial amount of protein, fibre and ash which was as high as 29.63 ±
0.12cm, 13.7 ± 0.09cm and 17.03 ± 0.01cm for the mushroom samples, while Potato
peels and Andropogon straw had the highest fat content at 5.20 ± 0.01cm. Yam
peels and Andropogon gayanus straw had the highest carbohydrate content at
35.27 ± 0.46cm. Similarly Cassava and Andropogon gayanus straw had the highest
moisture content. It must be noted that from this work we can not only conclude
that mushroom grown on the substrates above have the potency of good yield and
also nutritional content but also that, substrate supplementation aids good
yield in mushroom cultivation
