This research explored ways to improve shiitake mushroom cultivation using wheat straw instead of traditional oak logs. By enhancing the spawn (mushroom seed) with nutritional supplements, researchers achieved significantly higher yields and nutritious mushrooms. This advancement has several practical implications: • More sustainable mushroom production by reducing dependence on tree logs • Better use of agricultural waste by converting wheat straw into valuable food • Increased efficiency in commercial mushroom farming • More affordable and accessible shiitake mushroom production • Enhanced nutritional value of cultivated mushrooms
