Ecology and Environmental Protection
The increase in human population brings an increase in consumption, higher pressure in often limited space and growth of waste, particularly in communal environments. Out of the huge volume of communal waste, a portion is composed of biologically degradable and other waste, that could be recycled utilizing eco-friendly means – e.g. fungal activity.
This includes plant waste from gardens, yards, parks, orchards and forests, or plant debris not utilized by other ecologically and economically useful means. In this contribution, we present results obtained by inoculation of woody and herbaceous waste by the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm. Appropriate means of inoculation resulted in faster, more efficient and near-natural decomposition of woody debris after felling – tree stumps, coarse and fine parts of trunks and branches, as well as a mix of wood, bark and other substrates, including ash after burning of wood. Based on a detailed economical assessment, it was demonstrated that production of oyster mushroom fruiting bodies obtained via decomposition of woody waste material may provide significant financial gain. Preliminary results corroborate the presumption of the oyster mushroom’s ability to eliminate negative environmental impacts of ash generated in heat production. Mycelial filaments are able to mechanically bind ash particles, decompose some of its components into a near-natural form, and absorb heavy metals, ultimately resulting in soil purification.
Thus, near-natural utilization of various species of lignicolous fungi for the decomposition of unused parts of natural products may prove useful for both humans and nature.
