Cultivation of Kabul Dhingri (Pleurotus eryngii) mushroom by standardizing protocols in subtropical zones of world

Scientists in India developed standard protocols for growing King Oyster mushrooms (Kabul Dhingri) in subtropical regions. They tested different types of straw, sterilization methods, and planting densities to find the best conditions for maximum yield. Paddy straw provided the best results, while chemical sterilization and a 5% spawn rate worked best. These findings help farmers grow nutritious protein-rich mushrooms efficiently using agricultural waste.

Effect of Strain, Wood Substrate and Cold Treatment on the Yield and β-Glucan Content of Ganoderma lucidum Fruiting Bodies

Researchers successfully cultivated a medicinal mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) using leftover wood from sawmills and plywood factories. By testing different wood types and mushroom strains with cold treatments, they found that poplar wood combined with a specific mushroom strain produced the highest levels of β-glucan, a beneficial compound used in pharmaceuticals and food products. This approach transforms industrial waste into valuable medicinal mushrooms, supporting a circular economy.
