Studies to investigate the chemical analysis for fat and protein contents of fruiting bodies of different
Pleurotus species grown on various industrial and agricultural waste materials were conducted. It is
revealed that each species showed different results on for fat (%) only. P. florida showed maximum fat
when grown on blow gutter, while minimum on luckrine razing. P. sajor-caju showed maximum fat on
luckrine razing and minimum on ring sweeping. P. ostreatus grown on chimney gutter revealed maximum
fat contents while it showed minimum fat on ring sweeping. Maximum protein was determined from
Pleurotus cornucopiae grown on blow gutter and saw dust, respectively. Whereas minimum protein
contents were observed in mushrooms grown on chimney gutter.
