Abstract

The edible mushroom Volvariella volvacea was cultivated on three
different composts: a) cotton waste plus lime, b) paddy straw with lime,
and c) paddy straw, cotton waste and lime. The first compost was the best
substrate, because of an earlier pinhead appearance, and a higher and stable
mushroom production. The biological efficiency on this substrate was
42.6±4. 93%. Paddy straw gave poor and unstable mushroom production.
The compost of paddy straw and cotton waste was stable but with lower
biological efficiency if compared with cotton waste.
