Figure 1:

Oyster mushrooms grown on Sugarcane leaves.

Figure 2:

Oyster mushrooms grown on the Speargrass.

Figure 3:

Oyster mushrooms grown on Wheat straw. 

Figure 4:

Oyster mushrooms grown over Sugarcane bagasse.

Figure 5:

 Graph showing numbers of fruiting of oyster mushrooms. The graph shows that mushrooms growing on sugarcane leaves have the highest number of fruiting bodies, whereas those on sugarcane bagasse have the lowest number of fruiting bodies.

Figure 6:

Graph showing the number of primordial in Oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that the mushrooms that grow on sugarcane leaves have a maximum number of primordial, while those that grow on sugarcane bagasse have a minimum number of primordial.

Figure 7:

Graph showing stalk length of oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that the maximum stalk length was obtained by those mushrooms, which were grown on sugarcane leaves while the minimum length was obtained on sugarcane bagasse.

Figure 8:

Graph showing the cap diameter of Oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that those mushrooms grown on sugarcane leaves have a maximum cap diameter while those grown on sugarcane bagasse have a minimum.

Figure 9:

Graph showing the weight of oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that mushrooms grown on sugarcane leaves have the maximum weight while those grown on sugarcane bagasse have the minimum weight.

Figure 10:

Graph showing nitrogen contents of oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that the mushrooms obtained from the sugarcane leaves have a maximum nitrogen value, while those obtained from the sugarcane bagasse have a minimum nitrogen percent value.

Figure 11:

Graph showing protein content of oyster mushrooms. The above graph shows that the mushrooms obtained from the sugarcane leaves have a maximum protein value, while those obtained from the sugarcane bagasse have a minimum percentage of protein.
