Multilayer perceptron-genetic algorithm as a promising tool for modeling cultivation substrate of Auricularia cornea Native to Iran

Black ear mushrooms (Auricularia cornea) are nutritious and medicinal fungi that can be grown on waste materials from wood industries. Researchers tested different combinations of sawdust and bran to find the best growing mixture. They used artificial intelligence to predict which combinations would give the best yields, finding that a mix of 70% beech sawdust with 30% wheat bran worked best and could be produced efficiently.

Beeswax waste improves the mycelial growth, fruiting body yield, and quality of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus)

Researchers found that adding beeswax waste to the growing substrate for oyster mushrooms significantly improves their yield and nutritional quality. At optimal levels (5%), mushrooms grown with beeswax waste produced 4% more yield and had 28% more protein than those grown with traditional wheat bran. This discovery offers an environmentally friendly solution for disposing of beeswax waste from beekeeping while producing healthier, more nutritious mushrooms.
