Description
Akcay studied in 2025 whether spent substrate from growing Reishi mushrooms can be reused, mixed with hazelnut branch waste, for new mushroom crops. Five mixes ranged from pure branch waste to pure spent substrate. Yield, mineral content, and the chemistry of the substrates were tracked across cycles.
Pure spent substrate gave the best biological efficiency, while a mostly branch mix gave the highest total yield per weight. Mushrooms from pure spent substrate held more of most minerals than those from pure branch waste, though copper fell. Lab checks showed the spent material breaks down in part and holds heat better than raw branch waste. Reuse is presented as a sound, circular option for growers.
