The by-products resulting
from the agricultural productions are arised in extrem quantities every year.
Some agricultural by-pruducts such as olive press waste, green wallnut husks,
tea wastes, coffee pulp etc. have been recognized as phenolic-rich wastes. The
high polyphenol content in these wastes could have negative impact on soil and
flora, if they are not disposed properly. Moreover, some studies have
investigated the toxicity of phenolic compounds on aquatic organisms. Burning
of these wastes may cause to increase amount of carbondioxide in atmosphere.
Conversion of phenolic-rich wastes by different processes is therefore a
desired aim. Mushroom has been used either as a therapeutic and protein-rich foods
for many centuries. Mushrooom cultivation on agricultural wastes could be a
promising method to reduce the the environmental pollution problems as well as
production of tasty and healty foods. This paper reviews the potential uses of
phenolic-rich materials as substrate in cultivation of edible and medical
mushrooms.
