The paper describes the results of research in using the thermophilic mashroom Thielavia terrestris (Apinis) Malloch et Cain in the practice of preparing compost substrate for cultivation of Agaricus bisporus (J.E. Lange) Imbach. Industrial production of poultry produces a large amount of waste - litter and litter materials, potentially suitable for use in champignon composts. However, the litter mass contains a large number of ligno-cellulose inclusions that adversely affect the development of champignon mycelium and are poorly amenable to bioconversion processes. The solution to the problem may be in preliminary implementation of thermophilic mushroom with a rich spectrum of lignoand cellulolytic enzymes. The use of Thielavia terrestris accelerated compost ripening by 3-5 days, increased the content of sugars available for champignon mycelium in compost by 12-18%, improved the compost structure and increased champignon yield on the converted substrate by 20-22%. The methods proposed in the current article provide the possibility of bioconversion of significant waste amounts in the form of litter and litter mass into valuable mushroom protein.
