Novel process for energy-saving and cost-efficient substrate production for mushroom cultivation

The production and suitablity of different substrates for the long-term use in the cultivation of edible mushrooms will be evaluated in this project. Appropriate parameters as well as the efficiency for the production process of the substrates will be assessed. In order to investigate microbiological aspects of the substrates in the production process, analyses will be conducted at BOKU (detection and typing of certain microbial genera).
