Production of oyster mushrooms (pleurotus florida and lentinus sajor-caju) at mushroom house, Faculty of Agriculture, UPM

Oyster mushrooms are edible mushrooms and are among the important cultivated mushrooms in the world. The growth and yield of these mushrooms are highly affected by temperature and humidity. This paper presents a study that was conducted on two different oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus florida and Lentin...
