Abstract
Accumulation of cassava peels in cassava processing facilities is a source of environmental problems. This
study promotes commercial use of cassava peels in Colombia to produce mushrooms. The main substrates
for mushroom production are currently sugar cane bagasse and coffee husks. The lower price of cassava
peels and proof-of-concept production of mushrooms (Pleurotus ostorellanas) on cassava peels substrate
in 2018 & 2019, open the door to utilization of cassava peels by commercial mushroom farms.
