ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of additing the chicken feces meal into the
biogas sludge as the bran mixture on the white oyster mushroom productivity. The biogas sludge was
dried under the sunlight for 3 days. The sludge was divided into K without chicken feces meal, V1 with
the addition of the chicken feces meal (15%), and V2 with the addition of the chicken feces meal (45%).
V1 and V2 were mixed on media ingredients with oyster media control (10% bran with sludge 40 gram)
with 3 replications. Parameters observed were harvesting period, fresh weight per champignon, number
of umbrella per cluster, stalk length, and diameter of umbrella. The data were analyzed using completely
randomized design of variance pattern and differences between mean were tested using Duncans
Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The result showed that the best treatment was mushroom media on V2
with the addition of the chicken feces meal (45%). The white oyster mushroom productivity was
increased on the fresh weight per champignon of 35,92% and diameter umbrella of 24,46%, number of
umbrella per cluster of 63,53%, and stalk length of umbrella of 24,15%.
