Summary:Seasonal effects on spawn run period, time for first appearance of fruiting bodies, number of flushes, morphological characteristics of the first flush and biological efficiency of 7 strains of oyster mushroom (P. eous, P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju), grown on composted sawdust of T. scleroxylon in Ghana, were studied. P. eous strain EM-1 and P. sajor-caju strain ST-6 gave the best yield and biological efficiencies in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. The spawn run period, mycelia growth density and the first appearance of fruiting bodies were not season-dependent.
