Abstract

This study investigated the growth and yield of oyster mushrooms using different substrate materials in a Completely Randomized Design utilizing four treatments: T0 (100% sawdust), T1 (25% rice husk + 75% corncob), T2 (50% rice husk + 50% corncob), and T3 (100% corncob). The experiment was conducted at Occidental Mindoro State College, College of Agriculture from June to October 2023. Polypropylene plastic bags were filled with different substrate combinations, pasteurized for 8 hours in a fabricated steel drum, and inoculated with oyster mushroom spawns. After colonization, the bags were placed in a growing house. Data were gathered from ten randomly selected fruiting bags per treatment. Results showed that 100% corncob significantly improved substrate efficiency by lowering the number of days to full inoculation and days to first flushing, increasing weight of oyster mushrooms, and biological efficiency. In addition, 100% corncob had comparable effects to 100% sawdust in terms of the number of fruits per flush and percentage marketable harvest. These findings suggest that corncob substrate, particularly 100% corncob, can be a viable alternative for oyster mushroom cultivation. It offers faster colonization, increased mushroom weight, and improved biological efficiency.
