The yield of Pleurotus eous was highest on wheat straw (850 g/kg dry straw). Pleurotus eous contained highest protein (30.45 %). Phosphorus content in P. eous was highest (1150 mg/ 100 g) while potassium and sodium were more in P. sajor-caju i.e. 2280 and 320 mg/100 g respectively. The lysine content of P. fabellatus was highest (7.5 mg/100mg), while riboflavin was more in P. sajor-caju (46.1 mg/100). The protein content in spent straw increased two fold. There was reduction in cellulose (29.85-37.46%), hemicellulose (36.84-58.42%), lignin content (26.29-31.45 %) and polyphenol (37.5-50.00 mg/100g) in spent straw.
