Abstract

The present investigations were carried out to study the cultural characteristics, morphological characteristics and protein percent of 10 different species of genus Pleurotus namely Pleurotus sajor caju, Pleurotus flabellatus, Pleurotus platypus, Pleurotus fossulatus, Pleurotus florida, Pleurotus citrinopileatus, Pleurotus sapidus, Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus ostreatus and Hypsizygus ulmarius. Results obtained show that the fruiting bodies of the 10 species were of seven different colors. Diameter of the fruiting bodies ranges between 5.4 and 8.8 cm whereas length ranges between 4.9 and 13.9cm. H. ulmarius was found to be the best yielder (97.50% B.E.) with highest percentage (33.6) of protein content.

Key words: Oyster mushroom, morphological character, cultural character, protein, biological efficiency, yield.
