This study focused on the estimation crude protein and essential factors like pH, Organic carbon and utilization of the distillery yeast sludge as a source of single cell protein as substrate for growth of mushrooms. Distilleries produces yeast sludge as solid waste to a tonne of million tonnes actually, requiring disposal. Sludge consists of nutritional value and rich in vitamins, proteins, trace elements has been converted to a value added by products adopting a scientifically designed composting process. The ability and screening of the distillery yeast sludge use as rich nutritional values to grow and produce mushrooms in laboratory scale. The results shown that 1 gram of yeast sludge contains 10.79 mg of proteins, pH 5.91, Moisture changes the speed of biological activity the moisture content was estimated in the yeast sludge around 12.1%, carbon content was found around 2.9% and carbon and nitrogen ratio (C:N) affects the microbial activity and the rate of organic matter decomposition 60:1 was estimated from yeast sludge. Various percentages of Sludge with Paddy straw show mushroom growth among all substrates the mushroom span shown more growth on high amount yeast sludge.
