After three mushroom harvests the substrate with cover must be replaced and therefore, becomes a post-production waste. Fresh waste composting for 60 days. Two grades of compost maturity were distinguished, mature compost, used as a fertilizer without limits, and crude compost for prolonged maturing under controlled bioconversion. Factor determining the degree of compost maturity were: the total organic carbon content, content of soluble organic carbon, content of total nitrogen and C : N ratio. A significant relationship between high content of organic carbon soluble in water and its unfovourable effect on the plant growth at starting period
