Various casing materials, viz., Sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), Rice husk ash (RHA), Maize cob ash (MCA), Decomposed goat (GM) and cow manure (CM), Paper mulch (PM) and Loam soil (LS) were evaluated against commercially utilized casing soil for the yield and yield-contributing characteristics of pink oyster mushroom Pleurotus eous, propagated on wheat straw (WS) substrate. The experiment was conducted in under completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The crop of mushroom was harvested in three flushes where economic yield and biological efficiency ranged 155-215 gm, 44.2-61.4% for different casing materials. Casing with goat and cow manure (19 Days each) reduced the time of primordial initiation over control (20 Days). However, significant biological efficiency of mushroom was observed only with SBA (61.4%). This material also showed highest percentage yield increase (+13.50) over others. The number of effective fruit bodies ranged from 8-18 with maximum number in SBA which was at par to control. The treatments with low number of sporocarp produced higher individual weight of fruiting bodies. It was significantly (P=0.05) higher in CM (20.0), RHA (19.09gm), CCA (18.33 gm) and LS (20.87 gm).(PDF)
