Notes:
The presence of several antiphysiological factors limit the use of coffee pulp in monogastric and ruminant feeding. Twenty six white rot fungi were grown under solid substrate conditions in previously ensiled and pressed coffee pulp without adding additional sources of nitrogen. All grew and wholly covered the surface of the substrate. Six of them produced fruiting bodies. The weight loss interval ranged between 6.7-28.0% dry matter before fructification and from 17.0 to 48.7% after fructification. Some fungi biodegraded about 70, 55 and 47% of the total polyphenols, caffeine and permanganate lignin present in the original substrate.
