The cultivation of Pleurotus djamor, a pink oyster mushroom, presents a sustainable approach to recycling lignocellulosic agricultural waste while producing a nutritious food source. This study investigates the use of various substrates, including paddy straw, groundnut husk, newspaper, and cardboard, to optimise mushroom yield and quality. The methodology involves the preparation, spawning, and controlled growth conditions necessary for the successful cultivation of P. djamor. Key factors influencing mushroom production, such as temperature, pH, moisture, and aeration, are discussed. Nutritional analysis reveals that P. djamor is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, and bioactive compounds, positioning it as a valuable functional food with potential health benefits. The findings highlight the significant role of P. djamor in bio converting agricultural residues into high-quality food while addressing environmental waste management. This cultivation method not only contributes to sustainable food production but also supports efforts to mitigate malnutrition, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where agricultural waste is abundant. Overall, this research underscores the potential of mushroom farming as a viable solution for enhancing food security and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
