Pleurotus, commonly known as oyster mushroom, is a wood rotting mushroom that naturally grows on decaying logs. This mushroom has been cultivated using saw dust based substrate formulation. This study was undertaken to evaluate the growth performance of Pleurotus citrinopileatus, Pleurotus djamor and Pleurotus salmoneostramineus on coconut water gelatin and different physical factors such as pH, aeration, illumination and temperature conditions. Coconut water gelatin supported the mycelial growth of the three species as indicated by the luxuriant mycelial growth. Pleurotus citrinopileatus recorded fastest and shortest mycelial growth (90mm) after six days of incubation while Pleurotus salmoneostramineus showed slower mycelial growth (63.55mm), thick mycelial density and longest incubation period of eight days. Moreover, the three species grew best in pH 8.0, incubated either sealed or unsealed, both dark and lighted conditions at room temperature.
