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 </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en">therapeutic </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> 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. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={CNR Çevre}
