Article Abstract
In recent years, the optimization of straw-rotting formulations for cultivating edible mushrooms and the management of the resulting spent mushroom substrate have emerged as new challenges. This study aimed to investigate the composting of spent mushroom substrate produced from mushroom cultivation with various straw additions, under conditions where chicken manure was also used. Parameters measured during the composting process included temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), germination index (GI), moisture, and total nitrogen content. Additionally, changes in nutrient content within the compost piles before and after composting were determined, and the variations in bacterial and fungal communities across different treatments before and after composting were analyzed using 16S rRNA and ITS sequencing. The results indicated that the spent mushroom substrate produced by adding 20% straw during mushroom cultivation was more suitable for composting treatment. The findings suggest that incorporating an appropriate amount of straw in mushroom cultivation can facilitate subsequent composting of spent mushroom substrate, providing an effective strategy for both environmental protection and cost reduction.

To fulfill the global demand for sustainable livestock production and the implementation of circular economy models, the search for alternative feed sources to lower production cost has increased significantly. The use of agro-industrial waste has proven to be a low-cost strategy for animal feed. The present study evaluates the use of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) from Pleurotus ostreatus (strain Po-IAP) and Lentinula edodes (strain L5) as an ingredient for silage.

In this study, we investigated the microbial quality and bacterial diversity in Protaetia brevitarsis larvae reared on different substrates (spent mushrooms and oak sawdust). The microbiological quality of the rearing substrates differed significantly. Total viable counts (TVC) did not differ between oak sawdust and mushroom-based substrates, whereas coliforms (4.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is abundant in nutrients, including polysaccharides, essential amino acids, dietary fiber (DF), and other bioactive compounds. The compound microorganism preparation (CMP), comprising multiple beneficial bacterial groups, is widely used as a feed additive to modulate intestinal microbiota and enhance nutrient absorption in animals. This study investigated the effects of supplementing young sika deer's concentrated feed with SMS and CMP on total intestinal digestibility, growth performance, serum immune indicators, biochemical parameters, and intestinal microbial composition.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) disposal presents significant environmental challenges in the edible fungi industry. Converting SMS into biochar offers a promising resource utilization approach; however, the original biochar properties limit its effectiveness in mushroom cultivation applications. In this study, SMS biochar was modified by phosphoric acid treatment to form acid-modified mushroom substrates (AMMS), and the influence of acid-modified mushroom substrates on the production of oyster mushroom was evaluated.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) tends to emerge as an extensive problem in mushroom-consuming areas, which needs an immediate solution under a bioresource generation circular economy model. Meanwhile, biochar addition has shown significant improvements in waste bioconversion rates, which is less explored with the utility of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) in such waste (SMS) valorization. Thus, in our study, bioconversion of SMS and fruit waste (FW) mixtures (30, 70, and 100%), spiked with cow dung biochar (BC) with different doses (2 and 5%), through BSFL was investigated.
