| Abstract | Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a byproduct of mushroom farming that continues to increase in volume alongside rising consumer demand. Although its present uses in composting and animal feed, the application of SMS is highly limited due to its complex chemical composition, which repels natural degradation. This study aims to assess the feasibility of SMS as a substitute substrate for rearing the Black Soldier Fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens). The experimental method employed was a completely randomized design (CRD) with nine treatments and five replications each: 1) Control diet, 2) Spent Pleurotus pulmonarius (PP), 3) Spent Pleurotus pulmonarius with Fruit (PPF), 4) Spent Pleurotus ostreatus (PO), 5) Spent Pleurotus ostreatus with Fruit (POF), 6) Spent Volvariella volvacea (VV), 7) Spent Volvariella volvacea with Fruit (VVF), 8) Spent Lentinus squarrosulus (LS), and 9) Spent Lentinus squarrosulus with Fruit (LSF). The findings indicated that BSF larvae treated with Treatment 9 achieved a survival rate of 92.70% and a pre-pupal weight of 0.0924 g/individual, showing no significant difference (P > 0.05) when compared to the control group (Treatment 1). Additionally, larvae in Treatment 7 (VVF mixed with fruit waste) had a pre-pupal protein level of 40.19%, equivalent to the 44.32% found in the control group. The finding indicates that SMS presents considerable promise as a substrate for BSF production, in particular when combined with fruit waste, which improves the development performance and survival rate of the larvae. |
