An inexpensive pretreatment of cellulosic materials for growing edible oyster mushrooms
Artificial cultivation of oyster mushrooms on lignocellulosic materials involves the pretreatment of the substrate with hot water to ward off the competing molds during the spawn run. An inexpensive anaerobic pretreatment of the cellulosic materials has been suggested as an alternative to the conventional hot-water treatment. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
