Abstract
Pholiota nameko (T.Ito) S.Ito) is white rot wood inhabiting ligninolytic mushroom species
belonged to genus Pholiota, widely distributed through out Far East which has been used as
food and medicinal purpose. The research experiment was carried out to investigate the yield
and the biological efficiency of Pholiota nameko grown on different agro industrial wastes in
Ethiopia. For the cultivation of Pholiota nameko 6 kinds of substrates, namely eucalyptuse
shaving (ES), cordia shaving(CAS), coffee husk(CH), Pinus shaving(PS), cotton seed (CS) and
teff straw(TS) were used as the main material or substrates. Wheat bran (WB) was used an
additive material 100:10 and 100:30 w: w of the main material. Moisture content of the
substrate was maintained to50-65 %. Only three substrates, these are eucalyptuse shaving (ES),
cotton seed and cordia shaving(CAS) show remakable production of fruiting body. The highest
mean yield and biological efficiency were 797.33 g, 53.27% respectively on eucalyptuse shaving
supplemented with 30% wheat bran. The higher harvest 732.33g, 48.98% mean yield and
biological efficiency respectively obtained from cotton seed supplemented with 30 % wheat bran.
While the lowest mean yield and biological efficiency were obtained from Cordia africana
shaving supplemented with 10% wheat bran 550.8g, 36.80% respectively. There was no
statistical difference observed between substrates supplemented with 10% and 30% wheat bran
on yield and the biological efficiency. But substrate supplemented with 30% wheat bran showed
a little better quality of fruiting body and cropping time than substrate supplemented with 10%
wheat bran. In general the yield of Pholiota nameko mushroom harvested was significantly
(P<0.05) greater in eucalyptuses shaving than Cordia africana shaving. The use of eucalyptus
shaving as raw material was found better for the production of Pholiota nameko in this study, in
fact it is an abundant and chip lignin rich material in Ethiopia.
