— The mycelia growth performance of Agaricus blazei strain 2 was evaluated in this study. Evaluation of influence of physical factors (pH, aeration and light); nutritional factors (types of indigenous culture media), mother spawn materials (types of grain spawn materials) and formulation of sugarcane bagasse and mud press ratios as substrate material. Corn grit decoction sucrose gulaman having a pH of 6.5 favors the growth of this mushroom. Plate cultures in terms sealed and unsealed, light and dark condition, unsealed and dark incubated plates has significant effect on growth compared to sealed and lighted plates. Sorghum seed was highly significant to other treatment when used as mother spawning materials for Agaricus blazei strain 2. And 20% sugarcane bagasse and 80% mud press was the best formulation using sugarcane based substrate as spawning material of Agaricus blazei strain 2
