Abstract: The CC21 strain of gray shimeji (Pleurotus ostreatus) was evaluated for its productive performance on three different substrates: coconut husk (CCO), sugarcane bagasse (BCA), and elephant grass (JCO). The study assessed colonization time, biological efficiency (BE), and the yield of basidiocarps. It was observed that the BCA substrate showed the best results in terms of biological efficiency, with 38.26%, followed by CCO with 28.10%, and JCO, which had 17.37%. The sugarcane bagasse substrate also demonstrated the highest fresh weight, reaching 2.296 g, highlighting its potential for large-scale mushroom production. On the other hand, the cocoa husk and coffee husk substrates showed contamination, preventing fruiting. These results emphasize the importance of selecting appropriate substrates to optimize the productivity of edible mushrooms, especially in sustainable production systems that reuse agricultural waste. Further studies are recommended to improve the use of non-fruiting substrates.
