Mushroom stem-based diets elicit region-specific shifts in rainbow trout gut microbiota
mycolabadmin
Researchers fed rainbow trout different diets containing mushroom stem waste from grocery stores for six weeks and studied how the mushroom ingredients affected the fish’s gut bacteria. They found that mushroom diets promoted beneficial bacteria in different parts of the fish’s intestine without harming the fish. This research shows that mushroom waste can be recycled into healthy fish feed while supporting the fish’s digestive health and supporting a more circular food system.
