Mana Mushrooms

Delignification plays into the methane emissions reduction concept discussed elsewhere in my blog entries and site content with respect to reducing the human footprint through implementation of the Mana Mushrooms model.

Guess what else they're good for...? ;-)

Ivanka Milenkovic, Ognjen Adamovic, and Milan Adamovic combine to present a compelling read for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture, especially this whole IF&WMS thing ;-)

Within my limited network of ZERI community members, Ivanka has been credited with this work.

This is a basic profile for dried brewer's grain. My interest is in using this material as a component for substrate formulation, particularly insofar as it has direct industrial symbiosis implications.

Quantitative analysis of waste streams. The primary interest of this article for Mana Mushrooms is prospective industrial ecologies: “How can we manage waste streams to add value?” Specifically, given that a high percentage of wastes is paper products and that many mushroom species serve the ecosystemic niche of primary decomposers, mushrooms can be used to process this waste, reduce the burden on landfills significantly, and create downstream value added byproducts such as compost, in the form of SMS or spent mushroom substrate, essentially creating soil.
