The production and culture of mushrooms is increasing as a desirable addition to the cuisine since ancient times. Mushroom culture is a biotechnological process that recycles ligninocellulosic wastes, since mushrooms are food for human consumption. Mushroom compost changes during cultivation as a result of fungal activity. Extracellular enzymes and complex compounds are secreted for degredation of ligninocellulosic substrates and antimicrobial activity. A large amount of compost waste is produced worldwide in various mushroom cultivation. The disposal and burning of agricultural wastes have created major global environmental problems. This post harvest compost waste can be used in different ways for produce value-added products. The most common and traditional uses of this waste material is in animal feeding, fermentation with other additives, mixed with other manure to produce biogas, bottom fertilizer and soil improvement. Recently efforts on conversion of mushroom compost waste into valuable products have increased. This review has focused on the use of mushroom compost waste in traditional methods and as a source for production of extracelluler enzymes and antimicrobial compounds.
