Abstract

Insect frass used in combination with mushroom cultivation provides superior results such as increased yields and less greenhouse gas release relative to mushroom cultivation that takes place in the absence of insect frass. The use of insect frass during mushroom cultivation can provide synergistically improved outcomes relative to mushroom cultivation or the production of insects and insect frass in the absence of the other. By using mushrooms and/or their byproducts and insect frass and its components in combination, one can generate a closed loop system that will provide beneficial outcomes to mankind including but not limited to reduced greenhouse gases, greater employment opportunities, synergistic effects related to improved protein and other nutrient production and yields, and/or higher mushroom yields.
