Abstract
The study was conducted to the effect of different chemical nutrients
: Control

: 6 g NPK in 10 kg straw, in NPK mix N:P:K=2:1:1. Data on different growth,
yield contributing characters, proximate composition of mushroom were recorded
and statistically significant variation was observed for different treatments. The
