Comparative Analysis of Main Agronomic Traits of Different Pleurotus giganteus Germplasm Resources

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied 15 different varieties of giant oyster mushrooms to understand their growth characteristics and quality traits. They tested how fast the mushroom threads grow at different temperatures, measured the size and weight of the mushrooms produced, and calculated how efficiently each variety converts growing material into edible mushrooms. Strain No. 9 performed best with the largest yields and highest quality mushrooms, while different strains showed distinct characteristics that could be used to develop superior commercial varieties.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms grown on a special mixture of agricultural waste materials showed the best antioxidant properties in this study. Researchers found that combining sawdust, wheat straw, bagasse, rice bran, and corn flour created the ideal growing environment. The mushrooms produced high levels of protective compounds called phenolics and flavonoids that help fight harmful free radicals in the body. This research shows how we can turn agricultural waste into valuable medicinal mushrooms with strong health benefits.

What are forests for? Social perceptions of the functions of public-managed forests following mega-fire events

mycolabadmin

This study examined how people living near Portuguese forests view these natural areas after destructive mega-fires in 2017. Researchers surveyed 1,000 residents and found three different groups based on their views: some saw forests as moderately important, others valued all forest functions highly, and a third group strongly prioritized environmental conservation. Regardless of their views, most people cared most about protecting nature and air quality, while economic uses like timber production were less important to them.
