Narrative review reveals the dietary effects of spent mushroom substrate in livestock, indicating viable opportunities for agricultural waste recycling.

Key Points

To review the environmental implications of spent mushroom substrate generation and evaluate its potential reuse as a nutritional feed ingredient for livestock.
Literature-based synthesis examining global accumulation metrics of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and resulting ecological challenges.
Evaluation of secondary applications of SMS, including residual enzyme recovery, secondary mushroom flushes, biofuel generation, and soil composting.
Review of nutritional trials investigating SMS dietary inclusion and its subsequent physiological effects in both ruminant and non-ruminant livestock species.
Commercial mushroom production generates approximately five kilograms of spent mushroom substrate for every one kilogram of edible mushrooms produced.
Projected accumulation models indicate consumed substrate volumes may exceed six tonnes of spent mushroom substrate per square kilometer of global land surface.
Spent mushroom substrate provides a viable raw material for animal feed formulations, exhibiting functional utility in ruminant and non-ruminant diets.
