“…Mushrooms have many benefits in the respiration of degraded soils through many biochemical processes resulting from the enzymatic activities of mushrooms, such as decomposition, biodegradation, bio-weathering, bioconversion, and biosorption. Mushrooms also have the ability to increase soil aggregates, promote biodegradation of pollutants, and enhance the nutrient bioavailability in soil [194].…”

The Kingdom of Plantae is considered the main source of human food, and includes several edible and medicinal plants, whereas mushrooms belong to the Kingdom of fungi. There are a lot of similar characteristics between mushrooms and higher plants, but there are also many differences among them, especially from the human health point of view. The absences of both chlorophyll content and the ability to form their own food are the main differences between mushrooms and higher plants. The main similar attributes found in both mushrooms and higher plants are represented in their nutritional and medicinal activities. The findings of this review have a number of practical implications. A lot of applications in different fields could be found also for both mushrooms and higher plants, especially in the bioenergy, biorefinery, soil restoration, and pharmaceutical fields, but this study is the first report on a comparative photographic review between them. An implication of the most important findings in this review is that both mushrooms and plants should be taken into account when integrated food and energy are needed. These findings will be of broad use to the scientific and biomedical communities. Further investigation and experimentation into the integration and production of food crops and mushrooms are strongly recommended under different environmental conditions, particularly climate change.

“…A rapidly expanding valorization of agro-industrial residues is as substrates for edible fungi (mushroom) cultivation (Figure 6). Mushroom cultivation is seen as a major and sustainable component of modern agricultural residue management protocol and circular agricultural systems [105,106]. Data on global or country-specific allocation of crop residues to mushroom production are scarce in literature.…”

“…In 2015, global mushroom market was worth USD 35 billion [107] while Royse et al [104] reported that global mushroom market was worth USD 63 billion in 2013 made up of medicinal mushrooms: 38%, wild mushrooms: 8%, and edible mushrooms: 54%; with an annual projected increase by USD 34-60 billion [105]. In addition to contributing to food and nutrition security, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) represents a vital resource to produce high-quality compost for growth of other fungi [112], improve animal nutrition and health [105,106,113,114], produce materials [115][116][117], and extract enzymes for industries [105,106,109] and for soil amendment and bioremediation [106,114,118,119]. China is the global leader in mushroom production with 3,918,300 tons yr −1 or 64% of global volume and 85% for oyster mushroom production (Pleurotus spp.)…”

Agricultural Waste - New Insights

Traditional agricultural production is circular. Virtually no waste is produced. Residues are returned to soil as compost; used as bedding material in livestock husbandry (and returned to soil as compost) or as feed to produce animal protein and manure; utilized as construction materials; or fuel for domestic energy. Circular agricultural production ensures soil conservation, waste reduction, residues reuse, and recycling. The ever rising global population, and demand for food and agro-industrial products, necessitated a transition to linear agricultural production which generates enormous quantities of agricultural residues, agro-industrial, and food wastes. The economic losses, environmental degradation, and health hazards resulting from poor management of excess wastes, and their mitigation have been the subject of research and policy efforts at continental and regional levels. Current waste management models redirect attention to circular agricultural production and bioeconomic approaches aimed at waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Such approaches view agricultural wastes as raw materials with economic benefits for the farmer, consumer, and investor in varied industrial enterprises (crop and animal production, animal and human health, food, beverage, neutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and material industries). The present review attempts to collate information on global production, and possible valorization of recyclable agro-industrial residues and food wastes.

“…[8,48,49]. However, to date, no study is available on the use of SS as a casing material for mushroom cultivation [50]. Different types of casing materials (clay, sand, loam, Fargo silty, chalk, forest soils, vermiculite Rockwood, peat wool, sawdust, coir pith, wood charcoal, paper sludge waste) have shown promising impacts on mushroom growth and productivity [51].…”

The present study focused on the use of sewage sludge (SS) as a casing material amendment and the potential uptake of metal elements by the cultivated white button (Agaricus bisporus: MS-39) mushroom. Laboratory experiments were performed under controlled environmental conditions to grow A. bisporus on the composted wheat straw substrate for 50 days. Different treatments (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 g/kg) of casing material were prepared by mixing garden and dried SS and applied on the mushroom substrate after proper sterilization. The results revealed that SS application was significant (p < 0.05) in accelerating mushroom yield with a biological efficiency of 65.02% for the mixing rate of 200 g/kg. Moreover, the maximum bioaccumulation of selected metal elements (Cu, Cr, Cd, Fe, Mn, and Zn) was observed using the same treatment. Additionally, the multiple regression models constructed for the uptake prediction of metal elements showed an acceptable coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.9900), high model efficiency (ME > 0.98), and low root mean square error (RMSE < 0.410) values, respectively. The findings of this study represent sustainable use of SS for the formulation of mushroom casing material contributing toward synergistic agro-economy generation and waste management.
