Garlic and maize cultivations in Argentina are located in similar areas where olive is
produced, an advantage for eliminating wastes produced for oil extraction by mushroom
cultivation. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of different percentages of olive
mill waste water (OMWW) mixed with garlic and maize wastes for the production of
Pleurotus ostreatus basidiomes. Strain BAFC 2067 of P. ostreatus was cultivated in garlic and
maize wastes mixed with 15, 30, 45 and 60% of OMWW. Bags with 0% OMWW (control)
and 100% OMWW were also inoculated. The time of colonization and the yields obtained
permitted us to conclude that the best substrate utilized for basidiomes production was a
mixture composed of OMWW and maize wastes. The negative effect in the growth of P.
ostreatus on garlic wetted with tap water was reverted when garlic wastes contained 15 and
30 % of OMWW. A deleterious effect on yield was observed when 60 % OMWW was utilized
for wetting garlic and maize wastes.
