The use of phenolic-rich agricultural wastes for Hericium erinaceus and Lentinula edodes cultivation and its effect on yield performance
Abstract
Objective: This research investigated that the use of four selected agro-waste materials rich in phenolic content on cultivation of Hericium erinaceus and Lentinula edodes mushrooms.
Material and Methods: For this purpose, these wastes were comparatively evaluated regarding their suitability for mycelial growth, yield and biological efficiency (BE), of these mushroom species. The oak sawdust (OS) basal medium was mixed with 20% grape pomace (GP), green walnut hull (GWH), olive press cake (OPC), and tea waste (TW) for the production of these species in factorial experiments based on a completely randomised design with ten replications. Results: For both H. erinaceus and L. edodes, the shortest spawn running time (22.4 and 45.4 days, respectively) and the highest yield (225.0 g kg-1 and 282.9 g kg-1, respectively) were found using GP. The BE of H. erinaceus and L. edodes were varied between 15.2-64.3% and 36.0-70.7% , respectively.
Conclusion: GP, TW and OPC were seen as promising alternative substrates for the cultivation of these species. Moreover, for the effective utilisation and profitable disposal of green walnut hulls, further research is needed. to test their performance for the cultivation of other mushroom species.
