Short / Long answer type questions.
Mushrooms are biodegraders and proteins-rich food for us. Comment

Answer 1

The protein content of mushroom is 3-7% when fresh and 25- 40% when dry. Contain all essential amino acids, amides, and lysine. Bio-degradation of various agro and agro-industrial wastes could be accomplished through several microorganisms to degrade lignocellulosic complex. The microbes mushroom fungi were known to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes to degrade cellulose and lignin. Hence, biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes with mushroom fungi might become economically and environmentally attractive.
