Zusammenfassung:Cultivation of Pleurotus species, an Oyster mushroom is now becoming well known due to its taste, medicinal and nutritional values. It is capable of degrading agricultural wastes efficiently and even grows at different temperature ranges. Relatively, Pleurotus species has shorter life span and the fruiting bodies are rarely attacked by pests and diseases unlike the other edible mushrooms. Therefore, the aim of this research is to access the influence of mineral constituents of five local wood wastes (Anogeissus leiocarpa, Pouteria altissima, Vitellaria paradoxa, Cordia milleni and Triplochiton scleroxylon) in Ibadan metropolis on the growth, fruiting body yield and proximate analysis of cultivated oyster mushroom (P. sajor-caju). Data of Carbon/Nitrogen ratio (11.10 – 11.60) found reveal composition of Magnesium (0.035 mg), Potassium (0.053 mEq/l), Manganese (0.0013 mg), Copper (0.00050 g/m3), Iron (0.00275 mol/L), Phosphorus (0.027 mmol/L), Organic carbon (32.10 mg/L C), Organic matter (55.3 t/ha) and total nitrogen (2.77 mg/L) contributed greatly to the high crude protein, fats and ash contents of mushroom   cultivated  on T. Scleroxylon. However, insignificant contents of sodium (0.2 mg), Calcium (0.2 mmol/L) and Magnesium (0.013 mg) in Pouteria altissima led to the general inadequate performance of (P. sajor-caju) in yields. The fresh mean weight of (P. sajor-caju) was from 8.00 g – 27.53 g. The heaviest weight was obtained from T. scleroxylon followed by V. paradoxa, C. milleni, while Anogeissus leiocarpa gave the lightest weight. Hence, T. scleroxylon will be suggested for cultivating P. sajor-caju because of its positive impact on the yield, crude fibre, and protein content of the experimented mushroom.
