This project, which is also my undergraduate thesis, evaluates the nutritional composition of this <strong>spent mushroom substrate</strong> in different formulations, to find out whether it can return to the field as a <strong>biofertilizer</strong>.</p> <p><strong>What we investigate</strong></p> <ul> <li>Macro- and micronutrient contents of the substrate under different treatments;</li> <li>The relationship between substrate formulation and mushroom yield;</li> <li>The potential agricultural use of the material, closing the production cycle.</li> </ul> <p>The first results are part of a paper for CIC 2026.</p>
