In this study, some physical analysis of oyster mushroom (P. ostreatus), yellow oyster mushroom (P. citrinopileatus) and pink oyster mushroom (P. djamor) were investigated. Waste sawdusts of beech, alder, chestnut and walnut wood were used as substrate. After sterilization of sawdusts, %3 mycelium and %1 calcitic lime were added to the sawdusts and placed in the nylon bags. There was only one type of sawdust in each nylon bags. The temperature of the cultivation room was 15±2 oC, the humidity was 80 - 90%, and ventilation was made at certain intervals. In the study, P. citrinopileatus was the fastest micelization mushroom type at the beech sawdust substrate, Mushrooming was the slowest in the P. djamor type at the chestnut sawdust substrate. Growing in chestnut sawdust substrate, the P. djamor is generally considered to be the lowest width-length measure mushroom. For P. ostreatus growing in beech sawdust compost, the fungus produced can have the highest width-length dimensions. The lowest yield was 19.77% in the P. djamor at the chestnut sawdust substrate. The highest yield was P. citrinopileatus species grown in beech substrate with 31.02%. Following this, P. ostreatus growing in beech sawdust substrate was very close with 30.99% yield. The lowest biological activity rate was 38.22% at the P. djamor which grown in chestnut sawdust substrate. The highest biological activity rate was P. citrinopileatus growing in beech sawdust substrate with 70.93%.
