Bioconversion of agricultural wastes is an economically viable
method for eco-friendly disposal, along with proper utilisation
for producing value added products. Mushroom cultivation is one
such method capable of not only biodegradation and bioremediation
of agro-wastes, but also biotransformation into proteinaceous
food (Bisaria, Madan, & Bisaria, 1987a). In a nutshell, the purpose is
towards ideal utilisation of agro-wastes along with production of
nutritious food. Besides their excellent taste, edible mushrooms
have a great biotechnological potential, due to their capacity to
produce enzymes, medicines, to act in bioremediation and other
uses
