בשר קדשי קדשים. אסור לזרים אפילו טהורים. בשר קדשים קלים שרי לזרים טהורים ואסור לטמאים. ובשלן עם בשר תאוה. בשר חולין דשרי אף לטמאים ויש בו כדי לבטל כל אחד בפני עצמו. מצטרפין לאסור לטמאים. אפילו לר׳ שמעון, דקדשי קדשים וקדשים קלים שם אחד להם כדאמרינן לעיל גבי תרומה וחלה ובכורים.
ומותר. לזרים טהורים אפילו לרבנן דקדשי קדשים אין בהם כדי לאסור:

Mishnayos Orlah Perek 3 Mishnah 1
ערלה פרק ג׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
בגד שצבאו בקליפי ערלה – such as the husks/peelings of nuts and pomegranates, for the husks/peelings are also prohibited to derive benefit [from them] as we expound (Talmud Berakhot 36b): “[When you enter the land and plant any tree for food, you shall regard] its fruit [as forbidden/to be uncircumcised]” (Leviticus 19:23), that which is secondary to its fruit.
ידלק – for it is forbidden to [derive] benefit, as it is written (Leviticus 19:23): “you shall regard its fruit as uncircumcised”, that you shall not benefit, and not dye nor kindle with a candle with it.
כולם ידלקו – Rabbi Meir, according to his reasoning that he stated further on (see Mishnah 7 of this chapter): “what normally is counted [when being sold] renders [other food mixed with it] sanctified (forbidden, so that all of the food in the mixture must be burned), and clothing that was dyed that was normally counted [when being sold].
וחכ"א יעלה באחד ומאתים – according to their reasoning as they say further on in our chapter (see Mishnah 7)only six foods render [other foods] sanctified. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
בגד שצבעו בקליפי ערלה. כגון קליפי אגוזים ורמונים דגם הקליפים אסורים בהנאה כדדרשינן [ברכות לו:] את פריו את הטפל לפריו:
ידלק. שאסור בהנאה דכתיב (ויקרא יט) וערלתם ערלתו, שלא יהנה ולא יצבע ולא ידליק בו את הנר:
כולם ידלקו. רבי מאיר לטעמיה, דאמר לקמן את שדרכו למנות מקדש, ובגד שצבעו שדרכו למנות הוא:
וחכמים אומרים יעלה באחד ומאתים. לטעמייהו, דאמרי לקמן בפרקין אין מקדש אלא ששה דברים בלבד. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
