Abstract: Pleurotus ostreatus is one of the white rot fungi which attack both cellulose and lignin components of wood. This fungus grows on dead tree trunks and branches, and very rarely on living trees. This fungus has good flavor and is commonly eaten in Japan. Block et al. (1958, 1959) demonstrated that this fungus can be readily grown on sawdust and other agricultural waste products. The purpose of the present study was to obtain accurate information on its nutritional requirements, with an idea that it might be grown on such materials as rice straw and newspaper, a cheap abundant waste.
