AB  - <I>Plerrotus sajor-caju</I> is an edible mushroom that highly appreciated and has a commercial potential in many countries. <I>P. sajor-caju </I>was cultivated and with the help of four altered substrates. This study shows that the effect of four different kinds of supplementary diets, mycelium linear growth, quantity of sporocarp, moisture content level yield, chemical constituents and chemical composition of fruiting bodies were estimated. The mycelium linear growth was 1.9, 1.7 and 1.6 mm day<SUP>-1</SUP> with no significant differences at level of 10% bran addition to sawdust, soybean straw, sugar cane bagasse and rice straw, respectively. The data declare that moisture content of fruit bodies ranged between 87.63 and 90.26% and no significant differences were detected between those grown on sawdust, soybean straw and sugarcane bagasse. The obtained data show that soybean, contained significantly highest amount being (281. 45 g) followed by sawdust being 216.90 g while rice straw sugar cane bagasse recorded significantly lower values being 38.60 and 30.00, respectively.
