Abstract：Edible fungi cultivation is the fifth-largest planting industry in China and an important pillar for rural revitalization.When the edible fungi industry is developing rapidly,a large amount of spent mushroom substrate(SMS)is generated.A lot of SMS is casually discarded or incinerated,resulting in serious environmental pollution and resource waste.Therefore,the issue of the resource-based utilization of SMS has received widespread attention.Based on the analysis of the source,physical and chemical properties,and nutritional components of SMS,this paper comprehensively reviews the current situation and research progress of the resource-based utilization of SMS.This includes SMS being used as energy materials,for the production of bio-fertilizers,for improving the soil environment,for the extraction of bioactive substances,and for the manufacture of composite materials,etc.It also points out the existing problems in the utilization of SMS.Combining with the development status of the edible fungi industry,this paper looks ahead to the comprehensive utilization of SMS,aiming to increase the utilization rate of SMS and promote the sustainable development of the edible fungi industry.
