Maize Cultivation in Sun Mushroom Post-Harvest Areas: Yield, Soil Chemical Properties, and Economic Viability

This research shows that farmers can grow maize right after harvesting sun mushrooms, using the leftover mushroom material as natural fertilizer. This approach reduces the need for expensive chemical fertilizers while maintaining good crop yields. The system is particularly beneficial for small-scale farmers in Brazil, as it allows them to grow food year-round on the same land while saving money on fertilizer costs.

Influence of the chemical content of sawdust on the levels of important macronutrients and ash composition in Pearl oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)

This research shows that oyster mushrooms grown on different types of sawdust develop different nutritional profiles. By choosing sawdust with specific pH levels (slightly acidic to slightly basic) and hemicellulose content, mushroom farmers can grow mushrooms with higher protein, minerals, or fiber depending on consumer dietary preferences. The study helps growers make informed choices about substrate selection to optimize the nutritional value of their mushroom crops.
