Abstract
PLEUROTUS SAJOR-CAJU (Fr.) Singer was cultivated on naturally dried arecanut (Areca catechu L.) bunch waste during rainy and summer seasons. The mushroom yield, number of flushes and biological efficiency (BE) varied between the two seasons. The average substrate was 717.7 g (BE 77%) and 524g (BE 56%) during rainy and summer seasons respectively. The time taken to produce first flush as wellas the total cultivation period did not vary much with the seasons.
