Abstract

Results on cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, are discussed. Peanut hull (Arachis hypogaea), dry com leaves (Zea mays) and both mixed in a 2:1 ratio were used as substrates. The peanut hull showed 85.44 ± 3.98% of biological efficiency. The highest biological efficiency was of 144.85 ± 23.27% on dry corn leaves. The mixture in a 2:1 ratio yielded a biological efficiency of 95.7 ± 12.58%.
