“…This reduced yield might be due to the high temperature (37℃ to 40℃) in the month of April and low relative humidity resulted in low yield (Chitra et al, 2018). The overall yield improvement was recorded in first and second seeding in the month of January and February as mentioned due to optimum temperature and relative humidity for the development of mycelium, which helped in improving the yield of the crop (Chitra et al, 2018). The economic analysis of oyster mushroom production revealed that the cost of production of mushroom is Rs.…”

“…The second solution is the reuse of plastic for various purposes, and this can significantly reduce the demand for new plastics, thus decreasing the overall usage 13 . Similarly, by utilising a mere 1% of agro-wastes towards mushroom production, India can produce a total of 3 million tonnes of mushroom 14 . The remarkable ability of edible fungi to use various substrates and transform complex organic compounds into simpler by-products can be put to use to covert and utilise the vast agricultural and green waste into the valuable and usable form 15,16 .…”

In recent years, solid waste management has developed from early approaches of burning or dumping to reuse, recycle, regain, and retain various alternative technologies. The present study aims at developing an effective community waste management model with a solution to multiple issues. It aims to provide an alternative to widespread stubble burning, burning dry leaf litter and promoting plastic reuse. The present novel technology involved the cultivation of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) in used plastic bottles to convert agricultural and urban waste into a highly nutritional end product. In this direction, the effect of different wheat straw and dry leaves’ ratios was assessed on the spawn run time, primordial formation, final harvesting time, mean yield per plastic bottle, and the % biological efficiency per gram of the substrate. Both the combinations of L30:WS70 and L50:WS50 represented ideal options for using the two waste substrates to cultivate the mushroom species. This model will help recycle agro-waste and serve as an effective method of generating nutritious food for fighting food security while decreasing the plastic load and trash thrown for disposal.

“…The genus Pleurotus is one of the most widespread genera cultivated worldwide, including more than 200 species of mushrooms such as P. ostreatus , P. pulmonarius , P. eryngii and P. sajor–caju [ 15 ]. They have a high growth rate and utilize agricultural and industrial wastes as substrate for the production of high-nutritional- and pharmaceutical-value biomass, making them useful as commercial crops [ 16 ]. Pleurotus species are rich in proteins (10.5–30.4% d.w.) carbohydrates (57.6–81.8% d.w.), minerals (K, P, Na, Ca and Mg constitute the 56–70% of total ash content) and vitamins (e.g., thiamine and niacin are found at 1.16–4.8 and 46–108.7 mg/100 g d.w.) and are grown in a wide range of temperatures with an optimum between 18 and 30 °C [ 7 , 17 ].…”

The production of various biochemical compounds such as proteins, glucans and glucanases, from the mycelium of four strains of Basidiomycetes species, Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus subrufescens, Pleurotus eryngii and Pleurotus ostreatus, during batch culture in shaking flasks, was studied. Fungi were cultured for 26 days in defined media with glucose as carbon source and were primarily evaluated for their ability to consume glucose and produce mycelial mass and intracellular polysaccharides (IPS). Results showed that on the 26th day of cultivation, P. ostreatus produced the maximum biomass (16.75 g/L), whereas P. eryngii showed the maximum IPS concentration (3.82 g/L). All strains presented a similar pattern in total protein production, with A. bisporus having the highest percentage of total proteins (36%, w/w). The calculated correlation coefficients among ribonucleic acid (RNA) vs. biomass (0.97) and RNA vs. protein (0.97) indicated a very strong relation between RNA and biomass/protein synthesis. The studied strains exhibited an increase in total glucan and glucanase (β-1,6) production during cultivation, with A. bisporus reaching the highest glucan percentage (8%, w/w) and glucanase activity (12.7 units/g biomass). Subsequently, processed analytical data were used in contour-graph analysis for data extrapolation to optimize future continuous culture.
