This study was conducted to test whether post-harvest medium of king oyster mushroom can be recycled for its bottle cultivation. Physical properties of the post-harvest medium and the resulting yield of fruit bodies revealed no significant difference compared with control. Recycling post-harvest medium can be replaced to 15% of the basal medium, thus decreasing the cost of raw materials up to 15%.
