Metabolic Response of Pleurotus ostreatus to Continuous Heat Stress

This research examined how oyster mushrooms respond metabolically to heat stress. The study revealed that when exposed to high temperatures, the mushrooms alter their internal chemistry to try to protect themselves and survive. This has important implications for mushroom cultivation and understanding stress responses in fungi. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps improve commercial mushroom cultivation techniques in warm climates – Provides insights for developing more heat-resistant mushroom strains – Advances understanding of how fungi adapt to environmental stress – Could lead to better storage and transport conditions for mushrooms – May help predict and prevent mushroom crop losses due to heat
