Masevhe, M.R. (Mashudu Ronnie); Soundy, Puffy; Taylor, N.J. (Nicolette) (Taylor and Francis, 2016)Wheat straw has generally been used as the main substrate for cultivating oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus); however, in South Africa it is becoming expensive for small-scale farmers to utilise. Therefore, the main ...
