  • Title: GARBAGE COMPOSTING FOR MUSHROOM PRODUCTION.
    Author: BLOCK SS.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1965 Jan; 13(1):5-9. PubMed ID: 14264848.
    Abstract:
    Laboratory and pilot-plant composting of garbage mixtures of newspaper and vegetable waste has demonstrated that garbage can be converted to a medium that produces mushrooms (Agaricus campestris) in good yield. Sewage sludge was less satisfactory than newspaper, gumwood sawdust, or vegetable waste as a compost material for growing mushrooms. A sample of commercially produced compost was found to yield mushrooms in the same quantity as was produced in the laboratory experiments.
