%X The yield and biological efficiency of three isolates of Ganoderma lucidum were evaluated over different agro-wastes, including sawdust, coir pith, wheat straw, chickpea straw, mustard straw (either alone or in combination), supplemented with wheat bran and rice bran at 2.5% and 5% each on a wet weight basis and amended with 1% calcium sulphate, 0.2% calcium carbonate, and 0.1% magnesium sulphate. All of the substrates produced fruiting bodies. Wheat straw supplemented with 5% rice bran gave a significantly higher yield for all of the three isolates of G. lucidum, and the biological efficiency varied from 10%−16.88%.
