Mushroom cultivation may therefore become one of
the most profitable agro-businesses such as increased
production of food from rice and wheat straw as well
as environmentally friendly disposal of some agrowastes
(Zhang; etal (2002). In this paper corn husk
and corn cob residue from corn plant which are
highly available during the corn season supplemented
with different concentrations of poultry waste will be
tested for their ability to support the growth of three
mushroom species, namely Pleurotus tuber-regium,
Pleurotus osteratus var florida and Volvariella
volvacea to translate the present national interest in
mushroom cultivation into practical reality.
