Unrecycled mushroom Baglog waste will become a place for spores to grow so that the spread inoculation room, damaging media, which causes crop failure. The right step utilizing is composting it. A composted be better if it added with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (FMA), improving and increasing soil nutrient quality. This study aimed determine potential of compost by adding FMA groundwater spina...

Many reclaimed opencast coal-lands in Wales are now seriously degraded. This study explores the 10-year growth of native trees planted on compacted coal spoil. It compares relative benefits planting with spent mushroom compost (SMC) or well-rotted farmyard manure (FYM), both and without supplementary fertilizer. Four main tree species—Common Alder, Oak, Scots Pine Silver Birch—are considered. T...

Volvariella volvacea, strain V14, produces multiple forms of extracellular laccase when grown in submerged culture in a defined medium with glucose as sole carbon source, and on cotton waste 'compost' representative of the conditions used for industrial-scale mushroom cultivation. In liquid culture, enzyme synthesis is associated with the onset of secondary growth, and is positively regulated b...

Coal mining and the energy industry generate large amounts of solid waste, which must be disposed in landfills lead to numerous environmental problems. This paper presents a method for creating artificial soil mixtures based on an EU-funded international research project called RECOVERY. The main idea behind proposed solution is safe use coal combustion by-products (energetic slag decarbonation...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of tow nanoparticles (NPs) on the absorption, accumulation, reproduction of the Eisenia fetida. A 4×2×2 factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. The factors included in the experiment are the content of NPs at four levels (0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2gr/kg weight of substrate), the type of NPs at two le...

Large-scale composting facilities are known to cause environmental problems, mainly through pungent air emitted by composting material. In air samples taken above stacks set up to prepare compost used as a substrate in mushroom cultivation, several volatile compounds were identified by means of the coupled techniques of gas chromatography and mass spectrography. Among the compounds identified, ...

Nine volatile hydrocarbons, as well as methyl chloride, carbonyl sulphide and carbon disulphide, have been identified by mass spectrometry as products of Agaricus bisporus in the compost used in comerical mushroom beds. Of these, only ethylene showed a pattern of production that could be correlated with developmental phases of the crop, high levels being produced whenever fruit bodies were rapi...
