Abstract
- The objectives of this study were to evaluate applicability of food waste compost (FWC) as a substrate for cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinula edodes, and Pholiota adipose, and to determine contents of Ca, Mg, Na, and K in fruiting bodies (FB). FB yield per substrate in FWC-free controls was 53 ± 4 g/kg for C. lucidum, 270 ± 90 g/kg for L edodes, and 1,430 ± 355 g/kg for P. adipose. Substrates supplemented with FWC showed the highest FB production at FWC content of 10% for C. lucidum (64 ± 6 g/kg), and 13% for L edodes (665 ± 110 g/kg) and P. adipose (2,345 ± 395 g/kg), which were 1.2-2.5 times higher than the values for the controls. P. adipose contained higher amounts of mineral elements than the other species. Ca, Mg, Na, and K content in FB did not show a significant relation to FWC content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
