Therefore, conversion of untreated wastes to substrate for mushroom cultivation was the focus of this research. Wild edible mushrooms (chemical-free) and wastes were collected, sorted, profiled and analyzed using standard laboratory techniques. Physicochemical profiling of the wastes showed the presence of lignin ( |
