Effect of Culture Media on the Yield and Protein Content of Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) Kumm Mycelia

This research optimized how to grow oyster mushroom mycelium in laboratory conditions to produce high-protein food ingredients. The scientists tested different nutrient sources, sugar types, and pH levels to find the best growing conditions. They discovered that adding urea and using amaranth flour as a base nearly doubled the protein content, making oyster mushroom mycelium a promising sustainable alternative to animal proteins.
