Effect of Calcinated Oyster Shell Powder on Growth, Yield, Spawn Run, and Primordial Formation of King Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus Eryngii)

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the calcium (Ca) absorption efficacy of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) grown on sawdust medium supplemented with Ca-sources, including oyster shell powder, and to determine the efficacy of oyster shell powder as a calcium supplement on growth, yield, spawn run and primordial formation of P. eryngii. Optimum calcination of oyster shell powder was achieved at the temperature of 620.56 °C. A 1% supplementation of oyster shell powder in sawdust medium did not suppress… Show more

“…Recently farmers have been searching for an alternative substrate that may be more readily available and more cost effective or that may provide higher yields and better mushroom quality [ 9 ]. The oyster shell is not only good calcium enriched natural products but also a freely available waste [ 10 ].…”

“…The results were similar with other studies that used sawdust supplemented with different additives, substrate capacity utilization values not exceeding 50% (Estrada et al, 2009). Also, previous studies have demonstrated that can be obtained fruit bodies with high nutritional value by increasing the level of calcium in the substrate (Choi et al, 2011).…”

“…OSP ( MundoVerde ®) was produced from calcined oyster shells (650°C) and triturated to a particle size of ≤ 1.0 mm. The major component of the OSP at calcinations temperature has been found to be CaCO 3 according to Choi et al [42]. …”
