Researchers in Nigeria successfully cultivate wild mushroom in agricultural waste
Researchers in Nigeria have successfully cultivated a wild mushroom species, Lentinus squarrosulus, using sawdust from agricultural waste, offering a potential new source of protein and income. The study found that the mushroom grows best on sawdust from African breadfruit trees, and the findings could support the development of sustainable mushroom farming in Africa. The research highlights the potential of using agricultural byproducts for cultivation and aims to promote local mushroom farming as a reliable agricultural practice.
