This study investigates the effect of soil quality on the growth of different mushroom species in Thung Khai Botanic Garden, Trang Province. The objective of this research is to examine the soil quality parameters influencing the growth of various mushrooms, specifically termite mushrooms, Jun mushrooms, and egg mushrooms.The study focuses on the physical and chemical properties of the soil, including soil structure, color, texture, cohesion, pH levels, soil moisture content, temperature, and the presence of essential nutrients (Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K)). The findings indicate that the soil in Thung Khai Botanic Garden has an average pH ranging from 6 to 7, a moisture content of 10–20%, and a temperature range of 24–26°C. The nitrogen level averages at 2.1, phosphorus at 2.6, and potassium at 7.4
