Abstract:
The study on the use of substrate material as the cultivated material for straw mushroom was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Ubon Ratchathani University during April-October 2002. The Completely Randomized Design with 6 treatments of cultivated material was used in the recent study. It was found that the mushroom that grew on cotton seed meal+cut dry water hyacinth (1:1) showed the significant (p<0.01) highest cap number/m2 of the straw mushroom (107.85 cap/m2) compared to others material. For the production weight/m2, the straw mushroom showed the largest amount (p<0.01) when cultivated on the cotton seed meal (1524.13 g/m2). Furthermore, the result showed no significant difference of the high and wide of the straw mushroom cap among treatments.
