Enhancing the Nutritional Value and Antioxidant Activity of Auricularia polytricha Through Efficient Utilization of Agricultural Waste

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully grew Auricularia polytricha mushrooms using agricultural waste like cotton, coix seed, and wheat straw instead of expensive wood chips. The mushrooms grown this way not only matured 16 days faster but also contained significantly more nutrients including proteins, minerals, and beneficial compounds with antioxidant properties. This approach provides an affordable, environmentally friendly solution while producing healthier mushrooms.

Impact of Artemisia argyi and Stevia rebaudiana substrate composition on the nutritional quality, yield and mycelial growth of L. edodes addressing future food challenges

This study shows that shiitake mushrooms can be grown on agricultural waste materials like wormwood and stevia instead of traditional sawdust. Using 45% wormwood or 30% stevia in the growing substrate improved both the mushroom yield and their nutritional content, including important compounds with health benefits. These findings suggest environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives for mushroom farming that reduce reliance on wood resources while maintaining or improving food quality.

Molecular Identification, Mycelial Growth Kinetics, and Antimicrobial Potential of Newly Isolated Medicinal Mushroom Fomitopsis pinicola from Bulgaria

mycolabadmin

Scientists isolated and studied a medicinal mushroom called Fomitopsis pinicola from Bulgaria. They confirmed its identity using DNA analysis and tested how well it grows on different nutrient media. The mushroom showed strong antimicrobial effects against disease-causing bacteria, especially when extracted with water, making it a promising candidate for developing new antibiotics to fight antibiotic-resistant infections.

Effect of acid modification of Biochar derived from spent mushroom substrate on the production of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that treating mushroom waste with phosphoric acid and converting it to biochar creates a better growing medium for oyster mushrooms. This modified biochar increased mushroom yield by 13-16% and shortened harvest time by 2.5 days compared to regular biochar. The mushrooms grown on these modified substrates were safe to eat and economically more profitable, making this an effective way to recycle agricultural waste.
