The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of rice bran, rice hull, sawdust and quicklime on the production of edible mushrooms, in particular Pleurotus ostreatus. The cultivation method used is that of the culture technique on pasteurized substrate. The experimental device adopted was that in complete random blocks with four treatments repeated three and made up of different quantities of the prepared substrate (T1= 0.5 kg T2 = 0.75 kg T3 = 1.0 kg and T4 = 1.25 kg). The results obtained revealed that the average diameters of the cap and the height of the stem of the mushrooms from the T2 treatment were greater than those obtained from the mushrooms of the T1 treatment. No significant difference between these parameters was observed under the different treatments. The highest mushroom production (800.0 ± 23.31g) and the lowest (490.8 ± 7.60g) are obtained respectively under the T3 and T1 treatments. Thus the one-kilogram substrate used under the T3 treatment was identified by its high production of Pleurotus ostreatus.
