      abstract = {An experimental research study using the completely randomized design aimed to determine the potential of sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) extract as a substrate conditioner in oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) cultivation. Specifically, it sought to find out the significant difference among the different treatments as substrate conditioner in terms of the number and weight of oyster mushroom fruiting bags and was compared to water. There were four (4) experimental treatments [T1(1:1), T2(2:1),T3(1:2) of sea lettuce extract is to water and T4(pure sea lettuce extract)] and one control set-up T0(water) prepared which were sprayed equally to the fruiting bags containing 5 spawns of oyster mushroom with 5 replicates. The findings indicated that T3 obtained the highest Mean value in terms of number and weight of oyster mushroom. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that the decision is to reject the Null hypothesis; means that there is a significant difference among the four (4) treatments. The result implies that the treatments have varying effects as substrate conditioner. Post-Hoc Test (Tukey) identified T3 as the most significant variant. Whereas independent samples T-test revealed that there is a significant difference between T3 compared to T0 as substrate conditioner. The result implies that T3 is better than T0 as substrate conditioner in oyster mushroom cultivation in terms of number and weight of oyster mushroom fruiting bodies. It is suggested that sea lettuce extract substrate conditioner can be used as substitute for chemical fertilizers to improve the sustainable mushroom growth and yield. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the application of sea lettuce extract substrate conditioner that can be effectively used as eco-friendly approach to do mushroom cultivation industry.},
