The aim of this study was to determinate which of substrate container is more suitable in case of yield and mushroom quality in Pleurotus eyngii strains ( M-18, K-16 and K-20) cultivation. For this purpose, three different substrate containers (polypropylene bags, trays, bottles) were compared with each other for all of these strains. It has been noticed that method of disinfection affects mycelium growing duration (day), yield (g/kg), biological efficiency (BE%), avarage weight of fruitbody (g), diameter of pileus (cm), stipe lenght (cm) and width (cm). The experiment was carried out in complete randomized plot design with ten replications. M-18 strain was found the the most productive strain in case of yield, BE and mushroom quality. The shortest spawn running time was obtained from cultivation on trays while the yield, BE and average mushroom weight were higher on the bag system for all of strains. K-16 and K-20 strains didnt produce fruitbody on the bottles and the 29.9% decrease in yield in cultivation of M-18 strain on the same containers. The results revealed that polypropylene bags is most superior containers in cultivation of M-18, K-16 and K-20 strains.
