    #26631348 - 04/27/20 04:31 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Does anybody know what are the chemical composition of the bulk substrate after mushroom cultivation process has been completed. There is definitely Carbon and Nitrogen in there right? But i need someone who is an expert in this to tell me more about it.
Thank you so much

To answer the question in your title:
I compost it.

I have no idea what the ingredients are.

Most people toss or compost. Your contents depends on what your substrate is lol.

But most of the left over substrate would be mushroom mycelium right? Does the mycelium have high amount of carbon and nitrogen?

yes, there is carbon and nitrogen in spent mushroom substrate. largely variable depending on species of mushroom and substrate material etc.

You can compost it or bury it in a bed of substrate and hope that you get more fruits, although this is not guaranteed or likely. You can feed spent oyster mushroom straw blocks to livestock assuming no weed fungi have taken hold.

Substrates go well in worm farms, and makes you feel as though you're breeding Arrakis sand worms, depending on species :wink:

If you do organic gardening and make your own worm castings .... It makes for one helluva good worm bedding substrate! Properly used, it will severely kick up the quality of your worm castings to a whole other level!

If you put you spend substrate in your garden and till it up and plant your garden.. Come spring you will have mushrooms growing in your garden along with all your vegetables.. or at least that is how it happens to me.
