The objective of this paper was to evaluate chemical composition and NDF digestibility of corn stalk treated with fungi strain, Lentinula edodes (L), Pleurotus eryngii (P) or mixing strain (L+P), respectively. Corn stalk were randomly assigned to 3 treatments and incubated in plastic culture bottle. Samples were obtained on wk 0, 1, 3, 6, 9 for nutritive value and NDF digestibility determination using the near-infrared (NIR) method. All data were analyzed using MIXED procedure in SAS (version 9.4) with fungus, Time (W), and their interaction as fixed effects. The results showed that: (1) CP, ADF and lignin were differed between samples with different fungi strain treatment process (P < 0.05). Corn stalk samples with fungal incubation time were significantly different in Moisture, pH, CP, ADICP, NDICP, ADF, lignin and WSC (P < 0.01). The interaction of fungi strain treatment and fermentation treatment had significant effect on the content of lignin (P < 0.01). (2) A fungus treatment × incubation time interaction also occurred for NDFD30, NDFD120, NDFD240, uNDFom30 and uNDFom240, respectively (P < 0.01). L+P group had the lowest NDFD30, NDFD120, NDFD240 content than the other 2 treatment. Therefore, it was concluded that Lentinula edodes and Pleurotus eryngii had a great potential to decrease the content of lignin and enhance NDF digestibility of corn stalk, but Lentinula edodes or Pleurotus eryngii treatment effect was better than they mixed treatment result.
