[Digestion] Growing Mushrooms from digestate

[Anand Karve]

The effluent slurry contains lignin, which is food for many mushrooms. You
may have to add some fertilizer chemicals to the slurry. Oyster mushroom,
Pleurotus sojar kaju is a good edible mushroom which would grow on
substrate containing lignin.
