Composting is a useful waste treatment for environmental problem, but composting experiment is challenging due to large-scale requirement. Thus, laboratory-scale reactor is of interest for composting experiment. The capability of laboratory-scale reactor to simulate large-scale composting was determined by assessing the quality of produced compost via germination index.

In this study, an unknown mushroom species collected on rotting trunks of Ficus elastica in the Hanoi Botanical Garden was investigated. It was designated as Bt116. Based on the observed morphological characteristics, such as irregularly semi-circular, slightly yellow pileus; very soft, homogeneous, spongy, creamy white context; short and not clear stipes; and basidiospores typical of ganoderma mushrooms, etc., we hypothesized that Bt116 belongs to the Tomophagus Murr. mushroom genus.
