Microbial communities during the composting process of Agaricus subrufescens and their effects on mushroom agronomic and nutritional qualities.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tunnel composting technology for preparing Agaricus subrufescens cultivation media can achieve a higher biological efficiency (BE) and a lower contamination rate (CR). However, this technology lacks in-depth and systematic study.

Methods

In the present study, the changes in the microbiome and microbial metabolic functions were surveyed using metagenomic analysis. The physicochemical parameters, agronomic properties and nutritional qualities were also evaluated.

Results and discussion

Results showed that the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin dropped to 10.18, 11.58, 27.53%, respectively at the end of composting. The tunnel composting technology led to significant increases in crude protein content (32.56%) and crude fiber content (13.6
