a,b,c In a row, different superscripts denote significant differences (P < 0.05) between spawning rates.

1Substrates: GP0 = uninoculated red grape pomace; GP20 = red grape pomace inoculated with oyster mushroom spawn at 200 g/kg; red grape pomace inoculated with oyster mushroom spawn at 300 g/kg; GP40 = red grape pomace inoculated oyster mushroom spawn at 400 g/kg; GP50 = red grape pomace inoculated with oyster mushroom spawn at 500 g/kg.

2Parameters: a = the immediate fermentation fraction; b = the slowly fermentable fraction; c = fermentation rate of fraction (b); PGas = potential gas production; EGas = effective gas production.

3SEM = standard error of the mean.
