摘要

Mushrooms are recognized for their nutritional, medicinal, and ecological value, making them a sustainable “superfood.” In India, where agriculture generates abundant lignocellulosic waste, mushroom cultivation offers an efficient method for biomass recycling. This study evaluated the effects of substrate type, sterilization method, spawn rate, and substrate quantity on Pleurotus yield under hot, humid subtropical conditions. Among seven substrates, paddy straw showed the highest yield (713.33 g/kg dry weight) and biological efficiency (71.33%). The most effective sterilization was lime (1.5%) + chlorine powder (0.25%), yielding 766.67 g/kg and 76.67% BE. A 5% spawn rate resulted in optimal yield (760.00 g/kg), shortest spawn run (17.67 days), and earliest pinhead initiation (22.00 days). Substrate bags of 5.00 kg achieved the highest yield (1463.33 g), BE (73.17%), and fruit body count (35.67). These findings support the use of paddy straw, optimized chemical sterilization, and increased spawn and substrate rates for enhanced productivity in subtropical mushroom cultivation.
