Sporotrichum pulverulentum -- a non-toxic fungus-- was used for the treatment of rice straw through solid substrate fermentation technique. For effective treatment, the influence of moisture level, incubation, temperature and nitrogen source(s) for maximum delignification was studied. The maximum crude protein content of the substrate increased from 3.23 to 9.69% (net increase 6.46%) with 0.10% nitrogen in the form of NH4CL in 30 days at 35 deg. C
