    The cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus on some lignocellulosic wastes found in Northern Karadeniz Region was studied.

    This research involved 7 trials, of which three are considered in this paper. Each trial approximately was completed within a period of 2-2,5 months. Diameters and numbers of individual fruit bodies of mushrooms were measured and the effects of different substrates on productivity were investigated.

    In conclusion, it is proved that the materials such as leaf of hazelnut, wheat straw, sawdust and corn cob which are plentyful in the Northern Karadeniz Region have suitable properties for mushroom cultivation.

    Keywords: Pleurotus ostreatus, culture mushroom, leaf of hazelnut, wheat straw, corn cob.
