Abstract

Various fungi play a crucial part in the decomposition of organic materials  during composting, which is a cost-effective process of converting various  unstable and complicated organic substances into a stable and humus-like  substance. Composting is the regulated transformation of wastes and  biodegradable organic materials into stable products with the help of  microbes. Although composting has been around for a while, it still has  significant drawbacks that limit how widely it is utilized and how effectively it  works. Microbes detection, nutrient status that is low, a lengthy composting  process, a lengthy mineralization process, and odor creation are some of the  drawbacks. The consumption of synthetic chemical fertilizers can be decreased  through composting. These fertilizers are used to feed crops with the macro and micronutrients they need. The current study explains how to compost  quickly, biodegradable solid wastes without endangering the environment.
