A new approach for edible mushroom production on recycled fiber rejects and the use of spent mushroom substrate for heat and electricity production

The project aims to develop an integrated industrial chain using fiber rejects (current wastes from pulp and paper industry) for a combined mushroom and fuel production in Sweden. Fiber rejects shall be used as initial substrates for mushroom production and spent mushroom substrates (SMS, food industrial waste) recycled as biofuel. The mushrooms will be primarily considered as food or feed alternative feedstock for protein or other biobased products.
