Abstract
Cultivation of Pleurotus platypus and P. sajor-caju was studied using three different agricultural and forest residues in Imphal, Manipur, a long with the characterization of the fungal aerospora of the growing room. Both the mushrooms gave maximum yield on hot water treated paddy straw with a biological efficiency of 70 and 60%, respectively. It wa s followed by cold water treated paddy straw, saw-dust and pine needle s in the descending order. The concentration of the fungal spores insi de the growing room was maximum (15x10(5) and 12x10(5) spores/m(3) of air during the fruiting and post-harvest period of the mushroom, respe ctively).
