Assessing the potential of various lignocellulosic waste as substrate for mushroom cultivation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Lignocellulosic waste materials, such as agricultural residues, and forestry wastes represent abundant and renewable resources with potential for use as substrates in mushroom cultivation.Mainly, these agricultural residues left in the field itself for burning, lead to the emission of methane and nitrous oxide, causing health hazards.Utilizing these waste materials not only addresses the challenge of waste management, but also offers economic and environmental benefits.This review examines the potential of various lignocellulosic waste materials as substrates for mushroom cultivation, focusing on their chemical composition and enzymes for degradation.
