Abstract

These studies were conducted at the Institute of Horticultural Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during 2002. Different techniques of pasteurization including control, hot water treatment, steam pasteurization and chemical sterilization with formalin were applied to cotton waste to evaluate optimum method for best mycelial growth of three species of oyster mushroom. Results showed that steam pasteurization gave maximum mycelial growth which completed in shortest period of time. Formalin treatment behaved poorly as the species took maximum time to complete their mycelial growth.
