Abstract
In this study the possibility of using agarwood sawdust as a replacement of para-rubber sawdust in the Bhutan oyster mushroom cultivation was examined. Performance on mushroom cultivation of materials including para-rubber sawdust and agarwood sawdust were compared. The differenced in mushroom’s hypha growth, average of fruiting body, the pileus diameter, diameter and length of stalk and biological efficiency (%B.E.) were determined at the statistically significant level of p<0.05. The results showed that an average number of the fruiting body from agarwood sawdust materials were 9.70 fruiting body/bag. The average pileus diameter from agarwood sawdust materials was 5.37 cm./bag. The average weight of agarwood sawdust materials was 86.41 g/bag. All values were higher than that obtained from para-rubber sawdust. Therefore, as all results indicated, agarwood sawdust represents a new material that can replace para-rubber sawdust for Bhutan oyster mushroom cultivation.
