D3.1 Report on potential substrates and their lab analyses

The aim of this report is to study the potential raw materials that are available in urban settings and assess their applicability for oyster mushroom growing based on the company’s own know-how. In the report, we discuss the applicability of different urban biowastes from the perspective of being a raw material and also from the substrate formulation process. The mushroom substrate is defined as a composite material prepared based on a recipe that defines the composition and the preparation process. Based on the characteristics and composition of the raw materials, we have developed different recipes, each containing multiple raw materials to reach optimal parameters for mushroom growing.
