Details: The Australian mushroom industry uses approximately 25,000 tonnes of peat casing every year. Mostly imported from Europe or Canada at a cost of $300 per tonne, peat is both an expensive and limited resource.

Compost made from recycled organics is locally available and cheaper than peat. 

Join Adam Goldwater and Dr Jenny Ekman from Applied Horticultural Research for a webinar where they will present the results of the recent trials of commercially viable white mushroom crops cased with blends of composted recycled organics and peat. 

This is a Waste Less Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.
