This research explores using fruit tree pruning waste as growing material for shiitake mushrooms instead of traditional sawdust. By testing different fruit tree residues, scientists found that mushrooms grown on mixed substrates (especially apple and mulberry prunings) produced higher yields and improved nutritional content with better protein and mineral levels. This approach offers an environmentally friendly solution that reduces waste while producing more nutritious mushrooms and lowering cultivation costs.

Potential Protein Production from Lignocellulosic Materials Using Edible Mushroom Forming Fungi

Mushroom mycelium could be grown on agricultural and forestry waste materials to produce sustainable, protein-rich food alternatives. Unlike current meat and plant-based proteins, mushroom cultivation doesn’t require farmland and can efficiently convert wood chips, cocoa husks, and other side streams into nutritious food. With over 11,000 species yet to be explored and optimization of cultivation methods, mushroom proteins could become competitive in price and environmental impact with conventional protein sources.
