Summary: | Abstract : The objective of this study was to contribute to the establishment of mushroom cultivation practices that increase productivity of the mushroom by using locally available materials. These substrates were cut and dipped in cold tap water and drained for 24 hours. Rice bran was added thereto as an additive. The bags were filled at 1 kilogram of substrate, and then pasteurized in steam in a half shaft for 2h30, then cooled for 24 hours and then inoculated with the mother culture. The pouches were incubated until the mycelium has fully colonized the substrate. At the outcome of a study, fruiting technique and substrate type influenced the weight and diameter of pileus. The highest averages in terms of weight were obtained on the technique of casing and the bean vines based substrate while the lowest average was obtained on the shelf. Effects due to strains were not significant.
