Because of the regular annual harvest, Phragmites australis used in wetland protection produces an abundance straw, resulting a large amount straw waste. As result, extra should be convenient and efficient manner. A comprehensive analysis P. use Pleurotus cultivation spent mushroom substrate compost was performed this study to increase its value. The lignocellulose content shown meet nutritional requirements mushroom. Immediately thereafter, replacement bagasse with proved reasonable for eryngii could generate profit ¥17,400 per 10,000 bags. Substituting approximately 20 % 40 is recommended ostreatus can yield ¥16,000. Spent confirmed organic matter content, post-compost as fertilizer economic income by ¥1000 every Overall, recycling pathway resources presents positive ecological social benefits, model sustainable eco-friendly solution agricultural waste worthy promotion further application.
