Mushrooms have been used as food and food supplements for millennia. It is an important food item concerning human health, nutrition and disease prevention. Pleurotus spp. are also rich in medicinal values. Mushrooms are rich in protein, minerals and vitamins and they contain an abundance of essential amino acids. For the investigation of Pleurotus florida was used to find out the biochemical analysis in different substrates like, paddy straw, saw dust and coconut mesocarp wastes. The nutritional significance of Pleurotus florida cultivated on different substrates was assessed in of terms protein, carbohydrates, lipids, reducing sugar and amino acids. This study proved that the paddy straw substrate showed more biochemical content than other substrates.

Paddy straw, saw dust, coconut mesocarp waste, Pleurotus florida and Biochemical.
