Abstract
Fiveextracts of plant substrates including palm date fiber (fibrillum), wheat straw, sawdust and their mixtures were investigated to growfour species of oyster mushrooms: Pleurotus ostreatus (grey strain), Pleurotus ostreatus (white strain), Pleurotus cornucopiae (bright yellow strain) and Pleurotus salmoneostramineus (pink stain). In significant difference (P>0.05), the best mycelial growth rate was 14.73 mm day-1 by P. salmoneostramineus on solid medium of F1 (Solid medium of wheat straw 100%) followed 14.13 mm day-1 by Pleurotus ostreatus (grey) on solid medium of F5 (Solid medium of date palm fiber 100%) after four days from growth. Seven days were less time to cover whole plate by mycelia of P. ostreatus (grey strain) and P. ostreatus (white strain) on F5medium.
