Abstract: India has a varied agroâ€climate, abundance of agroâ€wastes, relatively lowâ€cost labour and a rich fungal biodiversity. These factors are able to make India as a potential major producer of mushroom. Milky Mushroom (Calocybe indica), Popularly known as summer or really mushroom, can favorably be grown from the month of March to October in the hot and humid coastal agro ecological situation of the state. Two strains of Calocybe indica viz. CI-16-02 and CI-16-03 were evaluated to study the sporophore characters and yield performance in various pulses additives. Among the two isolates collected strain from deferent agro- climatic situation collected from Modipuram Meerut. This isolate produced dense pure white mycelia Growth with thick strands. Among the three different Pulse additives Black gram (1%), Black gram (2%), Cowpea (1%), Cowpea (2%), Pea (1%), Pea (2%) and relative humidity 80-90 per cent was maintained in the crop room by sprinkling water through sprayer. The result is present investigation shows that different substrates on yield of milky mushroom such as result indicated that in CI-16-02 maximum yield was observed 680 g/kg dry substrate, and maximum average weight of fruiting bodies (33.17 gm) were observed in pea flour (2%). CI-16-03 maximum yield was observed 690 g/kg dry substrate and maximum average weight of fruiting bodies (26.22 gm) were observed in sugarcane leaf + wheat straw (2:1).
