Paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) is an edible mushroom, which has a high demand in Angul district of Odisha due to its taste, aroma and nutritive value. Two species namely OSM-11 and OSM-12 were experimentally evaluated on treated paddy straw with 2 % lime solution. OSM-11 was observed to perform best with highest productivity in total production in number (51) and weight of (1052.03g). In the present study both OSM-11and OSM-12 were performed better as compared to the farmers practised paddy straw mushroom. With respect to pin head formation and fructification both the species shows 2-3 days delay than Volvariella volvacea and also delayed harvesting of 1-2 days indicating no significant delay in the duration of the crop raising. The lowest biological and economical yields were found in Volvariella volvaceae (700.45g). The above findings reveal an opportunity for commercial implication of paddy straw mushroom especially for utilization of different strains of paddy straw mushroom.

The present study aimed to selectpotential strainof Volvariella volvacea suitable for outdoor cultivation in different cropping systems like Banana, Maize, Coconut, Coconut+Banana where such suitable microclimate prevails. Among the different strains of V.volvaceatested, the strain Vv-19-06 obtained from Directorate of Mushroom Research, Solan,performed considerably superior with higher bioefficiency of 17.44 and sturdy sporophores at egg stage and storage life of 1.1 days under refrigerated condition.Moreover, the morphogenesis of button stage to matured mushrooms were extended up to 1.8 days and the opened mushroom were retained on the bed for another 1.6 days, which is an added advantage.Cultivation of paddy straw mushroom as intercrop in Banana, Maize, Banana+coconut and Coconut cropping systems proved successful with spawn running completion ranging from 8 to 10.3 days, pinhead formation ranging from 9.3 to 11.6 days and harvestable button/egg stage appeared ranging from 11 to 12.6 days. The bioefficiency was comparatively better in all the cropping systems, which ranged from 19.4 to 20.6 %, with a total cropping cycle of 20.5 to 22 days.The indoor cropping system, which requires additional cost for infrastructure, also recorded bioefficiecy of 21.3 in a cropping cycle of 17 days. In all the cropping systems tested, the B:C ratio worked out to be 1:2.3 to 1:2.5 as in indoor cropping system proving that paddy straw mushroomcould be promoted for the outdoor systemin Maize, Banana, Banana +coconut , Coconut cropping systems as intercrop as it fetches additional income to rice-growing farmers.

Edible mushrooms were studied for morphology and yield performance.Oyster mushroom,milky mushroom and paddy straw mushroom were studied for spawn run ,pin head formation and fruiting bodies.Sugarcane bagasse,coconut coir, mixture of sorghum and maize stalk, saw dust were used as substrate.Highest yield observed on mixture of sorghum and maize stalk for P.sajor-caju (800.16g) followed by P.ostreatus (675.14g). C.indica has good yield on paddy straw (500g). V.volvacea has good yield on (550.18 g).These mushrooms can be further explored for medicinal properties.
