“…Compost substrate sterilization by autoclaving at 121 °C or hot water dipping (pasteurization) in steel drum at 60 °C for 2.3 h has been reported by [12]. Chemical pretreatment of substrates has been reported by [13]. Oyster mushrooms have also been traditionally produced using the outdoor log technique, thereby excluding substrate sterilization [14].…”

Endosulfan is an insecticide used on many vegetable crops. In mushroom cultivation, vegetable materials used as a growth substrate may contain residues of endosulfan that may accumulate in the final mushroom biomass. After preparing the substrate, it is subjected to pasteurization and/or composting and then inoculated with the desired fungus. The purpose of this research was to determine the rate and extent of endosulfan reduction from a grass substrate that was either composted or sterilized by autoclaving. In addition, the rate and extent of removal of endosulfan from substrate colonized with Pleurotus pulmonarius was determined. The degradation of 65 mg/kg endosulfan was analyzed on both, the substrate preparation and the culture of P. pulmonarius on the grass Digitaria decumbens. During composting in presence of Ca(OH) 2 for 120 h, the concentrations of a and b endosulfan were reduced by 61.4 and 49.5% respectively, significantly higher compared with the control (without Ca(OH) 2, ) in which the reduction was 38.5%. After sterilization the concentration of a and b endosulfan was reduced by 84.8 and 87.5% respectively. After the colonization of substrate by P. pulmonarius (15 days after spawning) a and b endosulfan were reduced by 96% and at the end of cultivation (35 days after spawning) were reduced by 99%. When carpophores were analyzed, residues of a and b endosulfan were observed between 0.019-0.084 mg/kg. The results showed that a and b endosulfan were partially removed during the preparation of substrate and entirely eliminated during fungal colonization on the substrate.

“…Pleurotus ostreatus has been cultivated on different substrates: sawdust, corncobs, waste paper, straw, bagasse and other byproducts (Contreras, 2004;Job, 2004;Mandeel et al 2005). Edible mushrooms cultivation is a profitable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solid-state fermentation technology that can become a secondary source of income sugar cane production.…”

Sugarcane lignocellulosic biomass (trash, depithed bagasse, whole bagasse from mills) and wheat straw were evaluated as substrates in five treatments for the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation. Sugarcane substrates were characterized according to TAPPI and AOAC methods to determine their chemical composition. The substrate mixture were sterilized and placed in polyethylene bags before being inoculated with the Pleurotus ostreatus spawn. Colonizing and fructification periods and biological efficiency were analyzed. The results showed colonizing and fructification periods similar to the control group with trash (RAC) treatments and RAC/BI (Trash and bagasse from mills), biological efficiency of 106% and 103%, respectively. Edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus showed 15.2 and 21.3% of raw protein, 12.8% of crude fiber, 5.8 and 6.7% of ash, and 40 and 45% of carbohydrates. Mushroom cultivation is an efficient biological process of food protein recovery from sugar cane lignocellulosic biomass.
