What pollution will edible fungi cultivation bring?

The cultivation materials for edible fungi production are mainly agricultural and sideline products such as cottonseed hull, sawdust, straw, corncob and crop straw. Although the production of edible fungi uses agricultural and forestry wastes to purify the environment, there are also a large number of discarded cultivation materials in the production and cultivation of edible fungi, the main components of which are mycelium residues of edible fungi and cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin decomposed by edible fungi. According to 70% biological efficiency, China produces about 6 million tons of edible mushroom waste every year. Dumping these wastes into the environment naturally will breed a variety of edible fungi pests, such as various molds, mosquitoes, mites, etc., which will become the pollution source and breeding ground of edible fungi production and endanger the production of edible fungi. On the other hand, these wastes also contain a lot of reusable organic matter such as cellulose. If abandoned in the environment, it is a great waste of biological resources, and the most important thing is the white pollution caused by waste fungus bags.

Of course, if we treat it well, it is also a resource. These wastes can be used to process feed, produce organic fertilizer and ferment biogas.
