Alternative substrates for the cultivation of macrofungi
Keywords
Abstract
Several raw materials, or residues, can be used as alternative substrates, aiding in mushroom cultivation and reducing production costs by using resources that would otherwise be discarded. Agroindustrial residues can act as a base substrate supplementation and a carbon source, improving the substrate for fermentation or several other factors. This review highlights the importance and effectiveness of using such substrates, and the significant role it plays in contributing to a sustainable future. The socio-environmental benefits such as reducing pollution, reusing agro-industrial waste, and cutting production costs are not just advantages, but a contribution to a healthier planet.
