Abstract

In this study, the effects of solid waste formulations on the developmental duration, characteristics of the fruiting body, yield, and biological efficiency (BE) of Volvariella volvacea were evaluated. The solid wastes were 100% paddy straw (PS) as a control, 100% palm oil empty fruit bunch (EFB) and 100% waste paper (WP). In terms of combination, 1:1 ratios were used for PS:EFB, EFB:WP and PS:WP growth substrates. The growth performance of the fruiting body was evaluated from inoculation to the egg stage for 45 days. The characterisations were evaluated based on the individual fruiting body’s weight, height, and length. The yield and BE were evaluated using the percentage of the total yield harvested and dry weight of the solid wastes. According to analysis of variance (ANOVA) at p≤0.05, V. volvacea grown on 100% WP took by far the longest time to achieve the egg stage (33.50 ± 4.95 days), compared to 100% PS, which took the shortest time (25.67 ± 0.58 days). Meanwhile, for the combination substrates, PS:EFB was the fastest to formulate the egg stage, at 29.67 ± 1.15 days. Despite having the slowest harvesting duration, WP showed the highest size quality (24.00 ± 10.58 g) when cultivated on its own. Besides, WP showed the highest yield (124.00 ± 32.05 g) and BE (12.40 ± 3.20%) when supplemented with PS. These findings shed important light on the potential use of solid wastes as a promising alternative for the cultivation of V. volvacea that might increase the BE of this species.
