Cultivation of winter oyster mushroom is realised in an increasing number and variety of ways, due to minimum environmental requirements, and its high productivity. The research was made on different substrates, in order to identify an efficient formula for the Pleurotus ostreatus M 2175 species cultivation under household. The sawdust, available in Nehoiu, Buzău was mainly used. Heat-sterilized substrate was placed in heat-resistant plastic bags. The inoculum was obtained on sterilized wheat seeds, at a ratio of 1 - 2%. The average temperature of colonization/fructification varied between 17 – 200 C. It was noted that all substrate formulas could support cultivation of the P. ostreatus M 2175 species, including formula partially containing softwood sawdust. The number of primordia was comparable to controls developed exclusively on beech sawdust and chopped straw. The study proved that this mushroom species has a significant adaptability to different types of substrate.
