Abstract: Two different varieties of sorghum viz., white turio and red janpuri (having red and white color of grains) were tested for better and early spawn growth of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex.

The spawn growth on red janpuri (red sorghum) grains was significantly higher (38.58 mm) followed by red janpuri and white turio (red and white sorghum) grains used at 1:1 ratio (33.41 mm) and white turio (white sorghum) grains (31.50 mm).
