NOCHE, AUGUST JUSTINE P., CORTES, JEANNA RUTH R., "Utilization of Rice Hull and Coffee Pulp as a Growing Media for Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)" Applied Research Ill (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University Science High school, Indang Cavite, April 2006.

The study was conducted to utilize coffee pulp and rice hull as growing media in growing mushroom. The study aimed to: (1) recycle rice hull and coffee pulp as growing media for oyster mushroom; (2) determine the productivity of mushrooms using rice hull and coffee pulp as growing media; and (3) determine the effectiveness of rice hull and coffee hull as growing media for mushroom.
This study was conducted at Anuling Lejos Mendez, Cavite from October 2005 — January 2006. Four treatments were replicated four times these are as follows: Tl- 30% soil + 35% coffee pulp + 35% rice hull; Tr 20% soil + 40% coffee pulp + 40% rice hull; T3- 10% soil + 45% coffee pulp + 45% rice hull; and T4- 50% coffee pulp + 50% lice hull.
Results showed that Treatment 4 composed of 50 percent rice hull and 50 percent coffee pulp produced more mushroom. It also had the highest mean diameter of mushroom cap with a mean of 3.82 cm. Mushroom in this treatment also had highest mean diameter of cap and the length. The heaviest mushrooms obtained were in Treatment 3.
Based on the evaluation of the study, coffee pulp and rice hull can be used as growing media for oyster mushroom. Using these materials is highly recommended because it is cheap and affordable.
