Abstract: Five Pleurotus species namely P. sajor-caju, P. florida, P. eous, P. ostreatus, P. flabellatus were evaluated for their protein content when cultivated on different locally available substrates( Soybean, paddy, wheat, ground nut, black gram and sunflower stalk). Out of five Pleurotus species Pleurotus eous had shown highest protein content (38.00 %) during Ist picking, followed by (36.10 %) the protein content during IInd picking when grown on soybean straw. Lowest protein content was recorded when P. flabellatus grown on (20.33 %) paddy straw during IInd picking.
