The growth and yield quality of grey oyster mushroom, Pleurotus Sajor-Caju on Brachiaria Mutica as substrate

Many places cultivate oyster mushroom (P/eurotus spp.) by using sawdust and other agricultural wastes. Oyster mushroom is capable of converting lignocellulosic residues from agricultural fields and forest into protein-rich biomass by degrading those. Like sabai grass as potential substrate, Brachiar...
