Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida 's ability to colonize and degrade a variety of lignocellulosic residues has offered several benefits, including waste reduction and the production of nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Several residues are generated from the bean and algaroba crops, such as pods after threshing the beans and leaves after removing the algaroba pods, most of which are improperly disposed of. With a view to reusing this waste, the aim of this study was to evaluate the development of P. ostreatus var. florida into a new alternative compost from bean pods and algaroba leaves.
