Abstract
Pleurotus spp., known as oyster mushroom, are appreciated for
their nutritive value, economic and fast production technology, broad adaptability
under varied agroclimatic conditions and suitability of different agrowastes as
substrates. Gujarat is leading industrial state of country. It has been estimated
that around half of the total quantity of plant residue from agricultural and
industrial processes remain unused. Today about 48 million tones of crop residue
are available in Gujarat annually. Out of these waste, even if 25 per cent is
utilized as substrate for growing mushrooms, a large quantity of mushrooms can
be produced.
