Abstract: Experiments were conducted at Department of Plant Pathology, T.D.P.G. College, Jaunpur in the two consecutive year 2010-2011 and 2011-12.Edible mushroom Pleurotus sajor caju (Fr.)’ Singer was Evaluation of different supplementation effect to capsulated on the yield. The experiments were laid out in completely Randomized design. The results are indicated that moisture content of the substrate was 72 percent and 69 percent during 2011 and 2012, respectively. It can be inferred from the data that the neem cake amendment reduced the days taken for spawn run (20 and 18 days) over control (22 and 21 days). It was followed by rice bran (21 and 19 days), during both year of study. The minimum day i.e. 23 days taken for first harvest in 2011 and i.e. 21 days in 2012 was also observed in neem cake supplemented substrate. When yield is taken into consideration, all the nutrients gave significantly higher yield over control. The neem cake supplemented substrate gave significantly higher yield of 596.0g and 612.0g in both the years. It was followed by rice bran (554.0 and 569.0g) supplemented substrate. Rice bran also gave significantly superior yield than wheat bran were statistically at par and significantly inferior to the wheat bran supplemented substrates during both the years.
