Samuel C. Onuoha, Prince N. Okoroh & Ruth A. Tom-Quinn · Journal of Applied Life Sciences International · 2021
Proximate composition, essential heavy metal concentration of fruiting bodies (POFB) and mycelium (POMY) of Pleurotus ostreatus were conducted using standard methods. Moisture content was higher (9.79%) in POFB than in POMY (8.76%) on dry weight basis. Ash was higher in POFB(6.25...
