Days to colonize the substrates, primordial formation and first harvest are presented in Table 2. The fastest colonization (22.80 days), primordial initiation (29.00 days) and first harvest (32.80 days) were observed in maize stalk with rice bran followed by pea waste with rice bran. Thus rice bran as supplement supported early colonization, primordial formation and early harvest of the mushrooms. Overall, maize stalk showed better results for colonization period, primordial formation days and first harvest days followed by pea waste, whereas banana leaves demonstrated delayed results.
