Cultivation of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus florida is highly economical, and is also useful for waste recycling and utilization of low cost waste as substrate. It produced protein rich food and reduced environmental pollution. In the present study of P. florida grown on different substrates including, seaweeds. The nutrient contents such as, protein, carbohydrate, fat and sugar fruiting bodies of P. florida were analysed. Results showed that there was variation in the nutritional content of fruiting bodies of P. florida cultivated on various substrates. The protein content was higher in P. florida cultivated in V. pachynema substrate. The reducing sugar content of P. florida was almost similar in all the substrates utilized in the study. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of protein extract of P. florida cultivated in V. pachnema substrate showed high density protein bands.
