This study tested using wormwood and stevia plant waste as alternatives to traditional wood chips in shiitake mushroom farming. Results showed that adding up to 45% wormwood or 30% stevia to growing substrates increased both the amount and nutritional quality of mushrooms produced. This sustainable approach addresses mushroom farming’s resource shortage while potentially improving the nutritional value of the final product, making it beneficial for both food production and environmental protection.

This study shows that shiitake mushrooms can be grown on agricultural waste materials like wormwood and stevia instead of traditional sawdust. Using 45% wormwood or 30% stevia in the growing substrate improved both the mushroom yield and their nutritional content, including important compounds with health benefits. These findings suggest environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives for mushroom farming that reduce reliance on wood resources while maintaining or improving food quality.
