Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Edible mushrooms are a valuable source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, essential elements, and bioactive compounds with significant nutraceutical benefits for human health. Their popularity has grown in recent years due to their gluten-free nature and essential amino acid profile, making them appealing to vegetarians, vegans, and individuals with celiac disease. The nutritional composition and biological efficiency of mushrooms depend on the species and production system, particularly the substrate used and cultivation conditions. This review explores how different substrates, particularly those containing agribusiness by-products, affect mushrooms' productivity, nutritional, and element content from the Agaricus, Lentinula, and Pleurotus genera. It underscores the importance of these mushrooms in the human diet and highlights how using agro-industrial wastes as substrates offers a sustainable cultivation method. This approach supports a circular bioeconomy, providing an ecologically and economically viable solution while aiding in waste recovery and minimizing environmental impacts associated with improper disposal of agro-industrial wastes.
