Abstract

The research evaluated the changes in degradability of some agro-forest wastes such as poplar sawdust, wheat straw, date palm wastes, and sugarcane bagasse during the cultivation of T. versicolor (turkey tail) to better understand the nutritional needs, evaluation of chemical and lignocellulosic changes of substrates, and physicochemical traits of mushroom. In addition, the possibility of spent wastes as soil amendment was evaluated. The substrates were studied for pH, EC, moisture, ash, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, macro-(C, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg), and microelements (Cu, Zn, Fe, and Mn), at nine substrate formulations during growing stages. Moreover, the effect of agro-wastes on mushroom fresh and dry weight, spawn run time, pinhead formation time, precocity time, some minerals (N, K, and Ca), and total polysaccharides was assessed. Among the nine formulations, the S1 (80% poplar sawdust + 20% wheat straw) exhibited maximum quantitative and qualitative yield. No relationship was found between the turkey tail yield and the nutritional composition or lignocellulosic account of the growing substrates. This indicates that the turkey tail mushroom needs moderate nutrition. In addition, in spent substrates (SS) the macro-(N, P, K, and Mg) and microelements (Zn and Fe) content was generally higher than initial substrates (IS), but carbon (C) content, lignocellulosic composition, and pH reduced in all SSs. The results suggest that the tested isolate has a suitable bioconversion capability and can be used to make agro-wastes to soil fertilizer. Furthermore, S1 substrate may be recommended as an appropriate substrate for T. versicolor cultivation.

Significance Statement Various types of agro-forest wastes can be used for high value-added products such as medicinal mushrooms. As far as we know, the cultivation and bioconversion of Iranian isolate of Trametes versicolor have not been comprehensively evaluated. This study is intended to show how lignocellulosic waste from industrial-scale activities can be used as an ingredient in substrates for the cultivation of medicinal mushrooms. This study was conducted to understand the nutrient needs of the fungus and bioconversion process under inoculation with this isolate regard to exploiting spent substrates (after mushroom harvesting) as a soil fertilizer.
