Abstract: Substrate type is one of the major factors affecting the growth and yield of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus sajor caju). Seven substrates, viz. Wheat, paddy straw, maize, jowar, soybean straw green gram and black gram straw were evaluated to study the productivity of oyster mushroom on these substrates. Among the seven substrates evaluated for yield of mushroom, maximum yield was reported (830.66 gm/kg straw) with 83.06 % B.E. when mushroom grown on soybean straw , followed by yield on wheat straw (791.66 gm/kg straw) with 79.16 % B.E. and the minimum yield was reported (625.99 gm/kg straw) on maize straw with 62.59 % B.E.
