1. Breeding Industry
According to an investigation into the current flow of discarded shiitake mushroom sticks, some of the discarded shiitake mushroom sticks are taken over by the breeding industry. The waste mushroom sticks are fermented and become good feed, which can be fed to sheep, cattle, etc. In addition, some special aquaculture industries also need discarded shiitake mushroom sticks. For example, breeding earthworms and small insects. Because there are many nutrients in the waste mushroom sticks and the price is relatively cheap, more and more breeding industries are taking action. 2. Carbon Production
Nowadays, carbon for barbecue is becoming more and more popular, and carbon production manufacturers are also reaping great rewards. The discarded mushroom sticks of shiitake mushrooms are just one of the materials for carbon production, accounting for a large proportion of the raw materials in the entire carbon production process. Therefore, part of the waste mushroom sticks purchased by some production areas are now used for carbon production. 3. Biomass Pellets
The crushed shiitake waste sticks are cold-formed and compacted using rollers and ring dies at room temperature. The density of the raw material is generally 0.1-0.13t/m3, and the density of the formed pellets is 1.1-1.3t/m3, which is convenient for storage and transportation, and greatly improves the combustion performance of shiitake waste sticks. In some areas, power generation is done using biomass pellets made from shiitake waste sticks. Therefore, the uses of shiitake waste sticks are becoming more and more widespread. 4. Compound Fertilizer Filler
During the production of compound fertilizers, some fillers are needed, mainly for the formula. When compound fertilizers are produced according to the formula and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are added, there is still a part of the gap. If some more products are added, the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ratio and total nutrients in the fertilizer will change, so some fillers without nutrients are added instead, which can also facilitate granulation and will not change the product quality. Therefore, discarded mushroom sticks are a good choice. According to the understanding of the inflow of discarded mushroom sticks, some discarded mushroom sticks have entered the fertilizer bags.
In fact, more and more waste mushroom sticks have been developed and utilized by us. I believe that in the near future, there will be more directions that need our discarded mushroom sticks, and the value of waste mushroom sticks will become higher and higher.
