The research experiment was carried out to study the effect of clinoptilolite zeolite on the yield of oyster mushroom (P. Sajor caju). Different proportions of Zeolite was added to substrate (Paddy straw) and it was observed that, addition of 10 g Zeolite in substrate resulted 733.68 g/kg yield, addition of 20 g zeolite produces 764.30 g/kg yield and with addition of 30 g zeolite in substrate resulted 815.20 g/kg yield of mushroom.
