The shortest mycelium growing time (MGT) was days, on the SS, while the longest was days, on the CS. The shortest first harvest time (FHT) was 30 days, on SS + LS (90:10; w:w), and the longest was days, on CS + LS (100:20; w:w). The shortest total harvest time (THT) was as days, on SS + LS (100:20; w:w), and the longest was days, on CS + LS (100:10; w:w) culture medium. The highest total harvest amount was g, from SS + LS (100:20; w:w), while the lowest was g, obtained from CS. The highest biologic efficiency degree (BED) and biologic conversion ratio (BCR) values were obtained from SS + LS (100:20; w:w), and , respectively. The highest first harvest amount percentage (FHAP) was on WS + LS (100:15; w:w), ; the highest second harvest amount percentage (SHAP) was obtained from SS + LS (100:15; w:w) compost medium, ; and the highest third harvest amount percentage (THAP) value was , on the CS culture medium.
