Abstract

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a by-product generated after mushroom harvesting from the commercial mushroom cultivation industry. SMS had lost a significant fraction of their mass (approximately 35-50% depending on their nature) due to metabolic reactions, mushroom production and water evaporation. SMS generally composed of three main components i.e. fungal mycelia, extracellular enzymes secreted during growing of mushroom and unutilized lignocellulosic components. Delignified SMS with small particle size (<1 mm) has been observed to have high cellulose component and lignocellulolytic enzyme content. SMS comprised of high cellulose (45.5%) and partially degraded lignin by the action of Pleurotus pulmonarius during mushroom cultivation. ...
