Abstract
There is a global need for alternative sources of high-quality, protein-rich foods to combat rising food insecurity and malnutrition.

There is a global need for alternative sources of high-quality, protein-rich foods to combat rising food insecurity and malnutrition. This study compared the nutrient/anti-nutrient composition of Oyster mushrooms grown on different substrates (rice bran + saw dust (Ms/r) (1:2) or ground banana leaves (Mb)). Ms/r had significantly higher yield as well as carbohydrate Na, Cl and Phytate contents compared to Mb. On the other hand, protein, K, vitamins B1 and D and Oxalate contents of Mb were significantly higher than those of Ms/r. The result indicated that banana leaves may be a good substrate for nutritionally beneficial mushrooms. Full article
