Abstract

Mushroom cultivation uses a wide variety of lignocellulosic waste and is an efficient way to recycle agro-forest residues to produce food. The cultivation of edible mushrooms using a wood-based substrate represents the bioconversion of that waste into edible protein. This review provides an overview of different wood-based substrates utilised for the production of mushrooms in the world and Nepal. Many agro-forest wastes have been utilized as substrates for the cultivation of mushrooms and have shown good yield with biological efficiency. Four major types of mushroom namely Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm), Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Singer) and Paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) are cultivated commercially in Nepal. Paddy straw sawdust, maize cob and sugarcane bagasse were the most used substrates for Oyster mushrooms. Similarly, Quercus spp. and Alnus spp. wood logs were common for growing Shiitake mushrooms. Sawdust from different trees also offers a potential alternative substrate source for mushroom cultivation. Hardwood sawdust was an excellent mushroom substrate as they allow faster colonization providing better structure for the mycelium growth. A study showed the nutrient content, growth and yield of mushrooms vary depending on the substrate utilized. This showed more study is needed to acquire information on wood substrate ensuring the safety of consumers that is economically viable and readily available.
