This study was carried out to identify best drying method with pre-treatment’s for varieties of oyster mushrooms to evaluate the impact of pre-treatment and drying technique on physical characteristics of oyster mushrooms. The values content of oyster mushrooms was raised, according to a physical analysis. Mushroom powder was dried and made in powder form by two drying methods (tray drying and vacuum drying) with three different temperatures (60, 70 and 800C). Three pre-treatment were given before drying (Untreated, Vinegar and Lemon juice).
