Table 2

Effects of different substrate compositions on the days elapsed for mycelium invasion (colonization) (M1), pinhead formation (PF), and the first harvest (FH) of oyster mushroom after opening of the bags, 2021 Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

Treatments	MI ()	PF ()	FH ()
T1 (100% wheat straw)
T2 (100% teff straw)
T3 (100% water hyacinth)
T4 (75% wheat straw+25% water hyacinth)
T5 (50% wheat straw+50% water hyacinth)
T6 (25% wheat straw+75% water hyacinth)
T7 (75% teff straw+25% water hyacinth)
T8 (50% teff straw+50% water hyacinth)
T9 (25% teff straw+75% water hyacinth)

Means with different letters in the same column are significantly different (). M = mean; SD=standard deviation.
