FROM WASTE TO GROWTH: MUSHROOM RESIDUES IN HORTICULTURE
2025
Overview
According to Rinker (2017), Pleurotus species are grown on wood sawdust and plant fibers supplemented with locally available proteins and carbohydrates. The main application of mushroom residues in vegetable production is as a component of growing media (Charles Heuser et al., 2007; Younis et al., 2023 ) for seedling production of crops such as tomato (Medina et al, 2009; Eudoxie and Alexander, 2011; Zhang et al., 2012; Ünal, 2015; Priadi et al., 2016; Collela et al., 2019; Alves et al., 2024), pepper (Medina et al., 2009; Demir, 2017), lettuce (Kwack et al., 2012; Marques et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2018), eggplant (So nmez et al., 2016), cucumber (Zhang et al., 2012), melon (Van Tam and Wang, 2015) and zucchini (Medina et al., 2009). Furthermore, spent mushroom substrate can enhance microbial diversity (Huang et al., 2023), aid in disease control (Mwangi et al., 2024), support biogas production (Kumar et al., 2022), contribute to bioremediation efforts (Rinker, 2017), and serve as a material for biodegradable containers in horticulture (Postemsky et al., 2016). MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to achieve the first objective a detailed analysis of the physical and chemical properties of a spent mushroom substrate of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) was conducted at the accredited Laboratory for Soil and Fertilizer Analysis (L-04), Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Food - Skopje.
