Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) is one of the most problematic and neglected aspect of world cities. Solid waste management through proper waste collection, segregation, transportation, treatment , disposal. The extensive use of different trees and plant materials in various functions results in a large organic content in the MSW. Fungi has gained wide acceptance as a key component of integrated solid waste management. It has been promoted as an eco-friendly and sustainable solution to urban waste management. Any agricultural waste which is in lignocellulosic nature can be fermented which lignocelluotic fungi. Therefore, it is time to concentrate more on development and innovate technological or identify technologies or solid state fermentation methods which are suitable for MSW management, is the need of the hour an attempt was also made to study the possibility of using Calocybe indica to ferment MSWOM along with paddy straw. We have used six substrate namely C1, C2, T1, T2,T3, and T4 respectively. Which were MSW harvested on 32nd day. In total, the fungal fruit body has yielded 20.2% of biological efficiency.
