Sawdusts of broad leaved trees (mainly Trema orientalis and Liquidambar formosana) were mixed with 20% (by volume) of rice bran and watered. The mixture was adjusted to pH6.5 with calcium carbonate and filled semi-automatically in polypropylene bags for sterilization. The substrate thus prepared was found to be able to grow Pleurotus eryngii replacing rice or wheat straw. The appearance of the first flush fruitbodies took about 60 days from inoculation. Each bag, containing 1.2kg of the substrate with a water content of about 60% produced about 101g of fruitbodies in average if placed vertically without cutting any holes on the bags. Fruitbodies thus produced were mostly large with a thick context of pileus and a thick straight stipe. A bag with the same amount of substrate producted an average of 154g of fruitbodies if it was laid horizontally and a cross fissure about 2cm in length was cut at the bottom. Fruitbodies produced in this case were mostly small with a thin context of pileus and a thin bending stipe.
