Edible mushroom are grown commercially using lignocellulosic waste by applying a biological process. However after the harvesting season about 70% of the substrate remain as a spent mushroom compost (SMC). SMC can be the source for retrieving value-added products which support zero waste approach. In this paper, the fate of SMC from agricultural production will be discussed focusing on its utilization. Based on the previous reports, major uses of SMC were in the agricultural field as mushroom media, animal feed, plant compost, fertilizer and others. Extended usage of SMC, i.e., for second cultivation is proposed in this review. In addition, the SMC was also applied in renewable energy production, e.g., feedstock for biogas, bioethanol or biohydrogen.

可食用蘑菇是通过应用生物过程利用木质纤维素废料在商业上种植的。但是，在收获季节结束后，约有70％的底物保留为废蘑菇堆肥（SMC）。SMC可以成为检索支持零浪费方法的增值产品的来源。本文将重点探讨SMC在农业生产中的命运。根据以前的报告，SMC在农业领域的主要用途是蘑菇培养基，动物饲料，植物堆肥，肥料等。在这篇综述中，提出了SMC的广泛使用，即用于二次培养。此外，SMC还用于可再生能源生产，例如沼气，生物乙醇或生物氢的原料。
