Abstract

Production of lignocellulosic biomass is routinely generated by agro-industrial activities in Indonesia. Those materials are disposed of in the environment without any treatment leading to serious environmental pollution problems. These agricultural wastes can be potentially bio converted into edible mushroom cultivation, known as a superfood because of their nutritional value and their function as a functional food. A mushroom is defined as fungi that can be a distinctive fruiting body, either epigeous or hypogeous. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and rice straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) are two kinds of mushrooms popular in Indonesia. Oyster mushroom is cultivated using sawdust as the main substrate and rice straw mushroom is cultivated using rice straw as the main substrate. This paper revealed the method of oyster and rice straw mushroom cultivation in Indonesia using both main substrates, sawdust, and rice straw. The biological character and bioconversion of lignocellulose substrate into the fresh fruiting body of mushrooms is expressed in Biological Efficiency (BE). It was determined by the weight of fresh mushrooms as a percentage of the weight of the wet substrate. The result shows that the BE of P. ostreatus growing on sawdust was 35-40%, while V. volvacea growing on rice straw was 20-25 %. In addition, this study concluded that the cultivation technology of those two kinds of popular edible mushrooms in Indonesia has been done in a modest method that has the better prospect for developing on a larger scale. The mushroom as a functional food will also be discussed in this paper by reviewing some related publications.
