Abstract
Two hybrid strains were obtained through protoplasmic fusion between Pleurotus ostreatus var florida and Pleurotus djamor var roseus The hybrid strains showed intermediate morphology colony morphology cultural characteristics and fruiting body to parents The size and RFLP pattern of two recombinant hybrids were similar and differed from the parental Pleurotus species The internal transcribed spacer sequence data revealed that hybrids showed close clad with variety of Pleurotus spp The hybrid strains showed maximum biological efficiency 13897 than the parental strains 1104811919 In addition maximum proximate composition energy values 26828 kcal vitamins thiamine riboflavin pyridoxine folic acid and calcium pentothenate and mineral contents potassium phosphorus iron calcium and zinc were recorded in hybrid strain The hybrid Pleurotus sp HS would be an important resource of food for mankind utilize variety of agricultural waste high amount of nutritional properties and essential food for human health
