        Spent coffee grounds, activated sludge, chicken manure, and agricultural waste-derived biochar were used to manufacture eco-friendly and functional compost via the bioaugmentation of white rot fungus and plant growth that promotes beneficial microorganisms. Six lab-scale composting reactors were established to perform composting. After composting was completed over 45 days, the composts were analyzed for major elements, physico-chemical characteristics, compost maturity, and compost effectiveness on crop growth and quality. Concentrations of T-N and PO4 3− significantly increased in the composts that had been amended with biochar and/or white rot fungus compared to the control, while those of NO3 −-N, TOC and TOC/T-N had significantly decreased, indicating the occurrence of effective composting. Besides, the germination indices of these composts were also generally higher than the control by 10-34%, indicating that the composts were mature. The four composts amended with biochar and/or white rot fungus (TR-3, TR- 4, TR-5, TR-6) also appeared to stimulate more growth in lettuce compared to commercial organic fertilizers (by 36- 104%). Besides, composts TR-3 and TR-4 respectively enhanced DPPH scavenging activity in lettuce leaves by 58% and 49%, while TR-4 and TR-5 respectively enhanced the total phenolic content (TPC) by 44% and 37%. This implies that the amendment of biochar and the bioaugmentation of white rot fungus could facilitate the composting process for the production of quality functional compost that is able to enhance the antioxidant content in crops. Quality composts could better compete with the commercially available fertilizers in the market, leading to the eco-friendly recycling of organic wastes such as spent coffee grounds, sludge, chicken manure, and agricultural waste.
