Use of Organic Residues in Edible Mushroom Production

有机残留物在食用菌生产中的使用。目的是开发以有机废物为基础的蘑菇生产的生长和外壳材料。肠衣泥炭是蘑菇生产中使用的最昂贵的原料，由于供应国日益增加的环境问题和检疫问题（例如最近在欧洲爆发的口蹄疫），对供应存在重大关切。该项目将开发进口泥炭的替代品作为套管材料，并研究一系列有机残留物，这些残留物可作为蘑菇和外来蘑菇的基本生长介质。这将增加澳大利亚蘑菇产业的生存能力和可持续性。

Use of Organic Residues in Edible Mushroom Production. The aims are to develop growth and casing materials for mushroom production based on organic wastes. Casing peat is the most expensive raw ingredient used in mushroom production and there are major concerns over supply due to increasing environmental concerns in supplier countries and quarantine issues such as the recent foot and mouth outbreak in Europe. This project will develop alternatives to imported peats as casing materials and investigate a range of organic residues which can be used as basic growth media for button and exotic mushrooms. This will increase the viability and sustainability of the mushroom industry in Australia.
