Biodegradation of Lantana camara and waste-paper to cultivate Agaricus bisporus (Lange) singer

This paper deals with a new substrate, Lantana straw and waste-paper, for button mushroom cultivation. The substrate was first biodegraded by Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) Fr. and then the sterilized substrate was used for button mushroom cultivation. Thus both the mushrooms ( P. ostreatus and Agaricu...

Description
Summary:This paper deals with a new substrate, Lantana straw and waste-paper, for button mushroom cultivation. The substrate was first biodegraded by Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) Fr. and then the sterilized substrate was used for button mushroom cultivation. Thus both the mushrooms ( P. ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus) can be grown economically on the same substrate in succession.
