“…In the discussion of the obtained results, it's essential to contextualize them within existing literature to provide a comprehensive understanding. Consistent findings regarding the yield and biological efficiency of L. edodes (shiitake mushroom) across various substrates have been reported by several researchers [16,18,[23][24][25][26][27]. These studies, akin to our findings, have highlighted the significant influence of substrate choice on mushroom cultivation outcomes.…”

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of different substrates on various stages of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) cultivation to optimize growth and yield. Study Design: A Completely Randomized Design with three replications for each treatment was employed to ensure statistical reliability. Duncan's multiple range tests were utilized at a significance level of 5% to evaluate differences between treatments. Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted at the Mushroom Research Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), located in Sriniketan, Birbhum district, West Bengal, throughout the year 2023. Methodology: Different substrates including lentil husks, rice straw, wheat straw, sawdust, and mustard pods were evaluated for their impact on spawn run completion, mycelial bump formation, and sporocarp formation durations. Each substrate's performance was assessed in terms of sporocarp production and biological efficiency. Results: Across the three strains (LE-01, LE-02, and LE-03), lentil husks consistently exhibited the shortest spawn run duration, averaging 34.59 to 37.00 days. Following closely, wheat straw displayed favorable performance with durations ranging from 39.20 to 41.23 days. Sawdust also proved efficient, albeit slightly longer than lentil husks and wheat straw. Conversely, maize cobs and sugarcane bagasse exhibited longer spawn run durations, averaging from 57.80 to 64.90 days. For mycelial bump formation, lentil husks again showed the shortest duration, averaging 42.67 to 45.77 days across the strains. Wheat straw followed suit with durations ranging from 48.93 to 50.20 days, while sawdust demonstrated favorable times albeit slightly longer. Conversely, maize cobs and sugarcane bagasse exhibited longer mycelial bump formation times, ranging from 68.11 to 74.40 days. For sporocarp formation, lentil husks and sawdust emerged as top performers with the shortest durations, averaging 76.66 to 81.52 days. Conversely, maize cobs exhibited the longest sporocarp formation time, averaging 97.43 days. In terms of sporocarp yield, rice straw yielded the highest, averaging 27.67 sporocarps per bag, followed by wheat straw with 24.33 sporocarps per bag. Lentil husks, while efficient in other aspects, produced an average of 21.78 sporocarps per bag, trailing slightly behind rice straw and wheat straw. Regarding yield and biological efficiency, sawdust displayed superior performance, yielding an average of 384.57 grams per 750 grams of substrate with a biological efficiency of 51.18%. Lentil husks and rice straw exhibited comparable performance in yield and biological efficiency, with lentil husks yielding 367.81 grams and rice straw yielding 333.09 grams per 750 grams of substrate, both with biological efficiencies around 47-48%. Conversely, mustard pods exhibited the lowest yield and biological efficiency, averaging 269.02 grams per 750 grams of substrate with a biological efficiency of 35.91%. Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of substrate selection in optimizing various stages of L. edodes cultivation. Lentil husks emerged as a promising substrate choice for rapid mycelial growth, but its sporocarp production lagged behind other substrates. Sawdust proved to be the top-performing substrate in terms of yield and biological efficiency, indicating its efficacy in supporting robust mushroom growth.

“…Therefore, these low levels of micronutrients from SSP may also contribute to the growth of mycelia. However, prior work has also found that higher levels of supplementation with shell powders can suppress or kill mycelia [23,24]. A previous report showed that the mycelial growth of Hypsizigus marmoreus slightly increased with the addition of CaCO 3 to a sawdust medium; however, mycelial growth was completely inhibited on potato sucrose agar medium supplemented with CaCO 3 [25].…”

Scallop shells are currently a major form of waste generated in the Chinese fishing industry. However, they have the potential to be used as important industrial products. This study was conducted to assess the utility of scallop shell powder (SSP) supplementation in improving the growth of king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii) grown on sawdust and sugarcane bagasse substrates. The outcomes of interest included mycelial growth, yield, biological efficiency, fruiting body traits, nutrient supply, and the mineral composition of P. eryngii. Supplementation with SSP accelerated the mycelial growth of P. eryngii. The yield of fruiting bodies (399.5 g/bag) and the biological efficiency (84.6%) were 14% higher after supplementation of the substrate with 2% SSP compared with those of mushrooms grown on substrates not supplemented with SSP (349.8 g/bag and 74.0%, respectively). Moreover, the crude protein and fiber contents of the fruiting bodies significantly improved after growth with SSP. Furthermore, supplementation with 2% SSP increased the calcium (Ca) content of the fruiting bodies of P. eryngii by 64% (to 67.2 ± 15.7 mg kg−1) compared with that of mushrooms grown on a control substrate (41.0 mg kg−1). This study revealed that P. eryngii can efficiently use the Ca provided by raw SSP, generating higher Ca contents in their fruiting bodies. Our results demonstrate that the supplementation of substrates with SSP can be useful for enhancing both the yield and nutritional content of P. eryngii.

“…However, the BE was close to those obtained by Mata et al (2016) at 23.08% and higher than that obtained by Zied et al (2016) at 12.48. The compositions of the substrates are not limited to the C:N ratio; they provide a broad and complex nutritional complex (Ranjbar & Olfati, 2017;Dayani et al, 2018), and according to Xu et al (2020), to reach high BE, the C:N ratio must be as stable as possible, that is, no big difference from the initial C:N ratio of the substrate until the end of cultivation must occur. This is proven by Bach et al (2018), in which the difference of 2% from the initial C:N ratio to the end of cultivation in axenic blocks is beneficial to obtain the best productive responses.…”

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) edible mushroom growth in an axenic block is the most popular method worldwide allowing higher productivity and a shorter cultivation cycle, than the conventional in wood logs. Blocks might be composed of residues from several agro-industrial activities. Among them, the brewery industry generates abundant waste that can cause negative environmental impacts if its incorrect disposal of in the environment, but it has not been studied to shiitake. The goal of this study was to evaluate if it is possible to produce it on barley malt bagasse (BMB) as one of the raw materials on the block. Results show shiitake biological efficiency (BE), productivity (PR), and their features. Substrates with C:N ratios of 30:1 and 36:1 resulted in BE values of 20.18 and 16.41% and PR of 10.91 and 10.19% showing that it is possible to product shiitake on blocks containing BMB.
