| Abstract: | The seasonal effects on the spawn run period, time for first appearance of mushrooms, number of flushes, morphological characteristics of the first flush and biological efficiency of seven different strains of oyster mushrooms grown on composted sawdust of Triplochiton scleroxylon were studied. Pleurotus eous strain EM-1 and P. sajor-caju strain ST-6 gave the best yield and biological efficiencies in the wet and dry seasons respectively. The spawn run period, mycelia growth density and the first appearance of mushrooms were not season-dependent |
