The primary aim of this study was to determine the impact of White Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) on the gut microbiota, hematobiochemical parameters of Rohu (Labeo rohita). White Button Mushroom (WBM) has immunostimulatory and hematological benefits therefore, an experiment was performed using WBM to improve gut health and blood profile of Rohu. Fish were kept for 8 weeks in two groups: a control group (given commercial feed) and an experimental group (given WBM powder diet). Each group contained 20 fingerlings. Hematological parameters were assessed and the results revealed, the mean RBC count in the treated group (T1) was 1.30 × 10⁶/µl, significantly higher than the control group (T0) which had a mean of 0.27 × 10⁶/µl, similarly mean Hb count in (T1) was higher than (To). Mean WBCs counts in (To) was significantly lower then (T1) counts. Hematocrit (Hct) and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) were also high in experimental group indicating enhanced immune response in Rohu. Bacterial colonies count of (T1) cultured on nutrient agar was 234.5× 10⁶ CFU, significantly higher then (To) counts which were 94.7× 10⁶ CFU, similarly CFU counts of WBM fed group were higher in tryptic soy agar and Eosin methylene blue. This supports the potential of mushroom-based diets as natural immunostimulants in aquaculture.
