In the present study, bacterial consortia are developed to facilitate quick composting process for mushroom SMS decomposition. In total 9 treatments were developed and tested for composting. In vitro setups indicated that treatments with bacterial consortia, T7 (SMS of paddy straw inoculated with AAU PG 23) and T6 (SMS of paddy and wheat straw [1:1] + ABBC 2), exhibited significant improvements in decomposition efficiency and compost quality. These treatments resulted in rapid SMS degradation, substantial reductions in dry weight and notable chemical enhancements, including decreased C:N ratio. Furthermore, both treatments displayed a substantial increase in pH and a decrease in EC, indicating improved compost quality.
