Oyster Nutrition

Oyster Nutrition

Oyster mushrooms grown on different farm-waste substrates showed major shifts in yield and nutrient content depending on the material used. Black gram straw delivered the highest yields and protein levels (up to 27.62 percent), while rice and soybean straw produced mushrooms with stronger overall nutritional quality, including the highest carbohydrate content (56.21 percent in P. djamor). Wheat straw enabled the fastest mycelial growth, and mustard straw consistently performed the worst across all measures.
