ABSTRACT

The  cultivation  of    oyster  mushroom  (Pleorotus  ostreatus)  is  not    many expanded yet in Indonesia, either the exertion chance or the consumtion fulfillment of society. The objective research is to know the production degree of   oyster mushroom on the basic media of sawdust were mixed with some compositions of corn flour and brand.
The  research  was  arranged  on  completely  random  design  with  treatments mixture of sawdust from albasia wood with corn flour (10%,20%,30%) and brand (10%,
15% (control), 20%,30%). Oyster mushroom production were observed in three times of picking ( 60, 75 and 90 day after plants). The data were analyzed by of  Varian Analysis
( ANAVA ) and continued with Duncant Multiple Range Test ( DMRT ) on 5% level. Result  showed  that  corn  flour  and  brand  were  effective  admixture  to  enhance
oyster mushroom production. The optimal production is found in the mixture of brand media with concentration 30% , while for corn media with concentration 20%.

Key word : Pleorotus ostreatus  , sawdust, corn and  brand
