Abstract:

The role of Ficus carica sawdust in the cultivation of edible fungi is explored to find a new way for the application of agricultural waste in the edible fungi industry. The effects of F. carica sawdust on the growth and yield of Pleurotus geesteranus and Hericium erinaceus were analyzed to select the optimum addition level by studying the nutrient contents of F. carica sawdust, the extract and the contents added in the culture material. The result shows that adding F. carica sawdust could significantly reduce the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the substrate. Although the F. carica sawdust extract has a positive effect on the growth of hyphae of both P. geesteranus and H. erinaceus, but the addition of F. carica sawdust to the culture material could slow the growth rate of mycelium. Adding F. carica sawdust could make the P. geesteranus bud appear earlier, extend the harvest time of H. erinaceus, increase the protein content of fruiting bodies. During the cultivation of P. ostreatus and H. erinaceus, adding 50% and 28% F. carica sawdust respectively could increase the yield of both edible fungi.

Key words: agricultural waste, nutrient contents, extract, mycelial growth, yield
