ABSTRACT: The study results showed that wheat straw showed no contamination, whereas there was contamination in other substrate used from weeks 1 to 4. At harvest, a significantly higher mushroom fresh mass yield was obtained in wheat straw than other substrates and lowest in saw dust. Higher number of pin head in small size recorded in pluses crop straw like soybean, chickpea and black gram straw than wheat straw compared with mustard and saw dust. The results demonstrated that all agriculture wastes substrates could be used as a viable alternative or in combination with fifty percent ration with wheat to the commonly used wheat straw. Oyster mushroom production could create employment opportunities to the Bundelkhand youth, farmers and farm women. The best natural management could be bringing sustainability in farmer livelihood by reduction in migration to the metro-cities from villages. The impact of climate change on villagers' life could be minimized through mushroom production. The mal-nutrition might be defeated by including the mushroom in daily diet.
