agricultural wastes (pomegranate peels mixture with wheat straw) on yield and
quality of two <i>Pleurotus </i>species ( <i>Pleurotus ostreatus </i>and <i>
Pleurotus australis </i>) were determined in this study carried out between 2018
and 2019 years. Seven mixtures of substrates were prepared. The experiment was
arranged in complete random design (CRD) and the data were analyzed by ANOVA
with CRD- factorial using fisher (LSD) multiple comparison tests at <i>P </i>≤0.05.
The fastest spawn run was obtained from T <sub>7 </sub>mixture in <i>P.
ostreatus </i> </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"> with 13.33 days. Pinhead
formation was also early in </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">T <sub>7- </sub> <i>P. ostreatus </i>combination <i> </i>with 3.33 days.
The minimum harvesting period was recorded in T <sub>4 </sub> and T <sub>5 </sub>- <i>P.
australis </i> combinations with 3.33 days. The highest total yield was obtained
from T <sub>6 </sub>- <i>P. ostreatus </i>combination
with 310.51 g and the lowest total yield was found in T <sub>1 </sub>- <i>P.
australis </i> combination with 17.00 g. Also, the highest percentage of
biological efficiency was observed in T <sub>6- </sub> <i>P. ostreatus </i>combination with 95.54%, and the
lowest percentage of biological efficiency was found in T <sub>1 </sub>- <i>P.
australis </i> combinations with 5.23%. After assessment of all data, use of
pomegranate peels with wheat straw (50+50%) can be recommended for <i>P.
ostreatus. </i> This kind of studies can be beneficial for mushroom growers for
finding the best substrate to cultivate <i>Pleurotus </i>
species. <b> </b> </span> </h1> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p> </p>}, number={3}
