Beyond Growth: Substrate-Dependent Variations in the Proximate, Phytochemical and Mineral Composition of White Oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus)

This study assessed the impact of three readily available substrate materials, namely sawdust, maize cob leaves and banana leaves, on the constituents of Pleurotus ostreatus. The mushroom was cultivated under the same conditions on the substrates independently, harvested, and analysed for proximate, mineral, and phytoc...
