Brewery waste mycology for energy and feed

Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives (ZERI) has an interesting article on making the most of the waste produced during beer production.  Beer: Making bread and mushrooms describes the traditional biproducts of beer production and innovative ways of making value added products from the waste, including edible mushrooms, livestock feed and  fuel (carbon monoxide and methane).  The article also notes that the international market for mushrooms exceeds that for coffee.
