Abstract:
The main scope of the experiments which are presented in this paper was to achieve the highest and most complete valorization of lignocellulosic wastes that are come out from forestry and wood processing industry, pomiculture and viticulture, as well as public gardens and green spaces of the cities, through biotechnologies based on their biocoversion by controlled growing of edible and medicinal mushroom species. In this way, there will be produced eco-friendly and fully biorecyclable objects that can be used as packaging, supportive and protective materials at the most competitive prices comparing with the same materials which are produced by non-biotechnological procedures. Through the achievement of such experiments it is shown that the established conceptual model of innovative biotechnology for bioconversion of lignocellulosic wastes through controlled mushroom growing can be used as efficient way to produce new eco-friendly biodegradable materials and mushroom fruit bodies. Such innovative biotechnology of lignocellulosic waste bioconversion into eco-friendly and useful products through the controlled growing of mushrooms is based on the use of inoculum obtained by submerged cultivation of mycelia and their develpment on solid substrates in specific conditions, keeping the firm correlation between physico-chemical factors and the biological ones, like certain selected mushroom species
