Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Cultivation of Mushroom on different Agricultural Wastes and Soil†and was conducted during rabi season 2018-19 in a dark room on crop research farm, SHUATS, Prayagraj, the experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD), with twelve treatments, replicated thrice with an objective to studied the growth, yield and nutrition content of mushroom with physical and chemical properties of soil which was used for growing of mushroom. Agriculture waste such as Wheat Straw, Paddy Straw, Rice Bran, Saw dust, Rice Straw including control. Both the mushroom grown on straw gave the significant height, weight and width. From the findings it is found that the T1 (100% wheat straw @ + oyster mushroom) was found at par than anyother treatments in terms of growth, yield and quality of mushroom. T2 (paddy straw @ 100% + oyster mushroom) was found to be at par with T1 (wheat straw @ 100% + oyster mushroom) in height, weight and width of mushroom. All the soil parameters viz., bulk density (g cm-3), particle density (g cm-3), pore space (%), water holding capacity (%), organic carbon (%), available nitrogen (kg ha-1), phosphorus (kg ha-1), potassium (kg ha-1) respectively was also recorded maximum in T1. The highest benefit cost ratio (1:1.75) was obtained in T2 (100% paddy straw @ + oyster mushroom).
