“…Other authors have shown that some fungi, particularly some species of Pleurotus are able to colonize different types of vegetable wastes, increasing their digestibility (Platt et al 1984;Commanday and Macy, 1985;Rajarathnam and Bano, 1989;Villas-Boas et al 2002;Zhang et al 2002;Mukherjee and Nandi, 2004;Salmones et al 2005). Previous studies have shown the feasibility of using these kind of wastes to produce animal feed (Calzada et al 1987;Adamovic et al 1998), and as substrate for mushroom production (Breene, 1990;Sermanni et al 1994;Kakkar and Dañad, 1998;Yildiz et al 2002).…”

“…Though oyster mushroom is the third important mushroom of culinary value, there has been a upsurge in Pleurotus mushroom research activities in the last two decades not only for its nutritional and medicinal values but also many other biopotentialities of Pleurotus species such recycling of comprehensive account of nutritional with some medicinal agricultural residues [12,14], bioconversion of lignoaspects of Pleurotus species [15,16], production or improved animal feed [17], bioremediation and biodegradation of xenobiotics [18,19], degradation of industrial dye [20,21], bioremediation [12,22], degradation of xenobiotics [23,24], bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes [25], enzyme production [26,27], etc. Medicinal attributes of Pleurotus species are given below.…”

Oyster mushroom is consumed all over the world due to its taste, flavor, high nutritional value, and some medicinal properties. Many species of this genus are rich in proteins with essential amino acids, polysaccharides, essential amino acids, dietary fibers, important minerals, and some vitamins. Because of this nutritional composition and presence of bioactive molecules, oyster mushroom has been reported to have anticancer, antihypertensive, antihypercholestromic, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antiaging, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. The high nutritional value and potent medicinal uses suggest that Pleurotus mushrooms are important functional foods or nutraceuticals.

Waste with high biomass content generated in cities in developing countries is sent to landfills or open dumps. This research aims to degrade biomass content in urban waste through cultivation, at pilot scale, of the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. First, the number of diapers used by one baby per week was measured with a survey in day care facilities. Then, cellulose content of diapers was assessed. Finally, cultivation of P. ostreatus was carried out using as substrate a mixture of diapers with gardening waste, a co-substrate readily available at urban settings. The factors assessed were strain of P. ostreatus (grey BPR-81, white BPR-5), conditioning of the substrate (diapers with and without plastic) and co-substrate (wheat straw, grass, and withered leaves). Results show that diapers are a OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 6034 valuable source of biomass, as generation of diapers with urine is 15.3 kg/child/month and they contain 50.2% by weight of cellulose. The highest reductions in dry weight and volume (>64%) of substrates was achieved with the substrate diaper without plastic and co-substrate wheat straw. Although diapers with plastic and grass and leaves showed lower degradation, they achieved efficiencies that make them suitable as a co-substrate (>40%), considering that their biomass is currently confined in landfills.
